This reminds me of that line from a song that I've replayed in my mind many times "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then". How often I have acted, believing I had all the necessary information, only to later discover I was hasty or acted from ego instead of heart. A good story, as always ❤️

That's a great song. It's Bob Seger's "Against the Wind" (in case you forgot). I'm sure we've all had those experiences. I know I have!

Kevin's words have given me pause and food for thought. Would love to see this one built out into a novella or something like it, you are a brilliant creator, and conduit.

Thank you, Chippy. Of course, there's always the problem of too many stories, too little time! 😉

With the concurrent rise of the neo-fascist right and AI approaching singularity, writing pieces like this will become increasingly important. Alarm bells need to be sounded and I would suggest that the most effective way to do so is through fiction which is always more difficult for the extant powers to suppress without betraying their impotence and insecurity.

Thank you, Kevin, for that insightful comment. You don't chime in often, but when you do, it's spot on.
