01
The author claims that information is something "we're allowed to see" — implying it is controlled and filtered. Who, in your view, actually decides what information reaches the public in your country? Are those decisions made transparently, or are they hidden from view?

The post uses the word "psychopathic" to describe those who control information. Is it more useful to think of narrative management as the result of individual moral failures, or as a structural feature of how governments and media institutions work? Does it matter which framing we use?
