When we notice the States are not United and we remove UN- from the beginning of the word to make adjustment toward accuracy, we now have "ITed States"... and indeed... these states seem to have been Information-Technologied...

ITed, IT'd. "Therapy." Therapy where you don't have to listen to or otherwise consider the lived experiences of the being receiving therapy? Therapy where you don't have to respect the physical trauma recovery needs of the being receiving therapy? Therapy without skills to notice increasing harm to the being receiving therapy? Specious. Creepy. 👀

"Information Therapy."

"Don't Go Down The Rabbit Hole" - NYTimes Decries Critical Thinking, Tells Americans To Trust Google Instead

A new article from the New York Times claims that instead of engaging with someone that challenges your worldview, you should “resist the lure of Rabbit Holes” and go to more authoritative sources such as Google and Wikipedia.

The New York Times appears to have declared war on traditional critical thinking, which they say “isn’t helping in the fight against misinformation”.

In short, the New York Times and their “expert” are telling us that instead of investigating the claims of someone that challenges the status quo and our understanding and perception of reality, we should instead avoid them and go directly to the authorities to tell us what to think.

To futureproof your job against robots and AI, you should learn how to code, brush up on your math skills and crack open an engineering textbook, right? Wrong. In this surprisingly comforting talk, tech journalist Kevin Roose makes the case that rather than trying to compete with the machines, we should instead focus on what makes us uniquely human.

What do we call this with farms... cross-pollenation... GMO drift...? Now that we're modifying human beings.

Know the signs and stages of grooming. Talk to your kids❤

Let's notice how every one of these components is present in increasingly surveillance oriented, socially restrictive environments (including your private home, if you have one). A group, individual, or platforn pretends to care for us and help us meet needs... until suddenly they are willing to hurt us in order to do what they want us to do.

If you are reading this, there is a good chance this set of steps is already being used to make you vulnerable to traffickers as well as entrapping the more vulnerable people in your life.

When all of these components are present, it is extremely easy to traffic a vulnerable person.

I am very grateful for collaborative spaces where we are interacting with one another differently and supportively, so that we can change the environmental factors that would allow any of us to be trafficked for the first time or ever again.

When we notice how we can be in relationship with one another with a litmus for trust, to build increasing trust over time in a way that is fully human and fully in service of the life energy that is all living beings... it is directly antidotal to the violence of intentional trafficking systems.

Something I and some others have been striving to verbalize together is how commercial and technological platforms have usually been instituting these components as a matter of achieving financial stability.

When a social media company inserts itself into your relationships, for instance, it requires you to communicate in certain disabled ways and make money in certain disabled ways because they must ensure their platform makes money first in order to continue in relationship with you.

But this monetizes your relationships, too.

There are consequences for extracting oneself from a "relationship" with a trafficker or a platform that is facilitating trafficking.

The consequences of trying to separate oneself from the abusiveness of social media platforms make one more vulnerable to being trafficked, very much like the consequences of trying to separate oneself from the interpersonal abusiveness of an individual bad actor.

We know that our environments don't have to include any of this abusive stuff.

Even the subtlest versions of it, we can do without them utterly!

When we make sure our environments don't include those abuse patterns, when we ensure inclusive communication and the means of healthy relationship building, traffickers are not able to move in our environments.
