8. Waiting For Verification
Mon Feb 3, 2025, 04:16 AM
Feb 3

If you wait for something to be verified by journalists it has already happened and it is too late to do anything about it. The horse is out of the barn and we are just reactive. We have to anticipate what the enemy is trying to do if we are going to stop them. That requires some speculation. In chess you have to think several moves ahead if you are to have any chance to win. I know that we have to understand what is true but speculating is not lying. We have to stop playing catch up with these people and we need to get ahead of them. I understand your point but we have to stop playing checkers with these people and start playing chess. And play to win.
