I agree. But who the hell is gonna enforce that? Especially right now? Are you seeing the people being elected around the world?
It's kinda scary when this man, the head of the Catholic Church is more of an ally than most nation leaders.
We need to do what you suggest to the heads of companies and conglomerates too. But again, who is gonna enforce it?
People now are using A.I. that burns more water than a cauldron and more electricity than some nations to spew what these corporate overlords want them to. Just today I read that Google is suppressing AI searches regarding Trump and dementia. I don't use Google. But most people do.
The odds and stakes are stacked against a just and fair or even livable future.
I'm gonna take what I can get to turn the tide on it. If I fail it will not be because I failed to try. Giving up is not an option.
