It will involve stoking the hate train. We all believe it’s Fox News and/or social media, but at this point, the message is being woven into church sermons. It’s bigger than I ever imagined.

All of the items on left are base level emotional feedback/adrenaline/dominance postures -- requiring nothing but "join us" effort to feel the jolt. Items on the right require more effort and ability to slow down and reason for our reward of "joining a community". They've had 20+ years of subliminal drumbeats on radio, tv, social media to create their following that only knows reactive states. The AR-15 pins - the signaling in this - frightening.

BK, you hit upon something that a friend and I discussed about a year ago. We were talking about the TIkTok Ice challenge where people raised money for charity. Then there were all these dangerous challenges, like the tide pods.

We agreed, why can't there be a challenge for longest running Straight A's in school, but agreed it would take too long. We then thought, how about challenges for collecting the most trash off of streets? Be it by pound or cubic feet, probably the latter as the picture of mounds of trash would be more likely to go viral.
