the US life expectancy is falling largely due to suicide, drug overdoses, and obesity.

the richest city on earth has a sizable, entrenched homeless population that openly do drugs on the street. Are we not in the midst of the opioid epidemic? Can what happens in Chicago be characterized as a war?

There is deep dysfunction and societal numbness to not see these realities; despite the riches accrued and the definitive technological advance, these problems are apparently unable to be solved.

there seems to be a rather simple fix for this: a bloom filter for ideas.

place this within the flow of information or at the intake of the government, take your pick. but it's obvious to me that democracy/universal suffrage gives incentive to actors (both foreign and domestic) to wage a mind-control war against the population.

if people are legitimately willing to question something as foundational as free speech, they should really consider the other parts of the foundation too.

If democracy requires free speech to be sacrificed, why do you think keeping democracy is a worthwhile endeavor? Perhaps you should be questioning the validity of universal suffrage.

If your mode of government can't withstand fake twitter bots, you should probably just toss it and start over with something else.
