I am going to make this into a video short for YouTube. I want your feedback!
1- We admitted that we were corporate Newsaholics and that our bias had become unmanageable.
2- Came to believe that a power greater than bias - called critical thinking - could restore us to sanity.
3- Made a decision to turn over our intentional blatant propaganda and less obvious lazy echo chambers to the care of critical thinking.
4- Made a searching and fearless inventory of the fake news we've produced.
5- Admitted to Twitter, to ourselves, and to Joe Rogan the exact nature of our disinformation, a word we commonly save for those questioning establishment narratives but rarely use for ourselves.
6- Were entirely ready to release our defects of news judgment which include but aren't limited to the following: group think, hubris, moral crusading, identitarianism, lack of time and resources, fear of independent journalism, post-Trump derangement syndrome, character defamation of outsiders, unquestioning trust of bureaucratic sources, regurgitating wires, and basic unresearched stupidity.
7- Humbly returned to a teleprompter, website or social media platform to see where we've removed our shortcomings without alerting anyone so as to paint an illusion that we are trustworthy when in fact we regularly make mistakes.
8- Made a list of persons, issues, and freedoms we've harmed - and became willing to make amends to them all.
9- Made direct amends to such people, issues and freedoms - especially those we've mislabeled conspiracy theorist, misinformation, or extremist in an effort to use our corporate power to silence others.
10- Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted that we repeat the false presumptions of our peers because it's safer than getting kicked off YouTube for telling the truth.
11- Sought through critical thinking to improve our capacity for truth wherever it may lead, seeking knowledge and the fearlessness to report it, even if that means questioning our archetypal public health patriarch, Dr Fauci.
12- Having had an awakening as the result of critical thinking encouraged by historic public distrust in our industry, we tried to carry this message to other corporate TV Newsaholics, and to practice these principles even if the New York Times writes a smear piece.
I was sitting down to do some work at my desk/podcast studio and found a duck egg on it. I have no clue how it got there, when, or why it was there. I’m pretty sure the duck didn’t lay it there. But who knows. Anything is possible on this farm. I’ve seen weirder things and Lily is know to bring animals inside. 🤔
Eggs are a staple for our health. So is the fermented cod liver/butter oil from https://greenpasture.org/ which is packed with nutrition for your brain, joint, muscle, immune and gut. Use promo code “ALISON” at checkout for 10% off. Have a great weekend!
Now that I produce food, instead of just buy it from the grocery store, I see it all so much more clearly. It’s truly mind-boggling that you can easily buy a food item with carcinogens in it, and have no idea of its origin or processing, but if you want to come to my farm and ask me a million questions and even pet the animals - I cannot sell you a steak to eat or milk to drink. Is anyone surprised why people are so sick? It’s time to end the war on small food.
And as for the war on cavities or weak bones, don’t forget to support another small business, Green Pasture. I have been taking their fermented cod liver / concentrated butter oil for 15 years and I was shocked when I stopped getting cavities because I had been plagued by them for so long. Use “ALISON” as your promo code to check out for 10% off. https://greenpasture.org/
A couple years ago we discovered wild blackberry plants growing in our back pasture. This year, the harvest was not very large due to the drought. However, it has me thinking, maybe this is the one fruit plant I can actually grow without killing it? When we first moved to Florida a couple years ago, I invested several hundred dollars into trees like a mango tree and a peach tree and an avocado tree. Later I bought a pear tree and a nectarine tree. Sadly, none of them are still alive. I am now hesitant to invest even one dollar into more fruit bearing plants until I figure out why I continue killing them. Anyway, the wild blackberries have inspired me to try that as they seem to be growing here with no care whatsoever. What do you think? Any suggestions on what to try?
Don’t forget to head over to Green Pasture for the fermented cod liver/butter oil blend - one of the best nutritional investments I’ve made for my own health. Full of vitamins, minerals and omega 3s to support ...
