Political Seventeen
The Letter 'Q'
Note: you may not be aware of this, but many in the American conspiracy community believe that the seventeenth letter of the alphabet is connected to Q, which is:
The name that many Trump-supporting Americans give to the secretive figure they believe exists inside the government, who is helping the president defeat his enemies.
And maybe Canada is learning the game...

Wow politics is still volatile. I agree with Emily, interesting fact about a conspiracy theory group. Nicely Written.
I've read this three times now and honestly, you write short stuff brilliantly. I can never get my message across like this. This is a special skill and I am here for it. Great writing mate, simply great.
Very interesting fact about a conspiracy theory group.
Ultimately, there are no truths. Everything is perceptual, nothing can be proven. ALL will disappear. You rely on self-perceptual editing and what you've been told. All memory is a lie, moment-by-moment you download and decode experience which is instantly stored in a brain repository that is nothing more than a molecular construct made of atomic particulates itself. This world can vanish instantaneously, leaving you I presume in the infinite black of the void. Or maybe not. I haven't directly experienced the finality of it and can only go based on what I've been told. Even if there is an objective "reality" outside yourself, however you define it, it is still meaningless, insomuch that we presume for you, the perceptual editing device, (both Observer and that which is Observed), it will one day, in what is taken to be the linear span of "time," it will suddenly go black. Why is one thing any harder to believe and accept than another? Why is the miraculous any more difficult than the banal? You (assuming you exist outside of my own conscious perception) must ask yourself these troubling questions, in the shadow of the void. Best to you!

Pleasant lies are so much easier to believe than uncomfortable truths, even though their end is our increasing discomfort for the benefit of the few, rather than the clarity to solve real problems & work to make things better.
tragedy on both sides
I have a student who believes both the birds aren’t real and the earth is flat theories. The student’s major is neuroscience. Go figure that cognitive dissonance.
