  1. The ugly visual man is a beautiful person because of the truth he spoke. I have been on YouTube for fact finding mission and it is social media to a point. Because you slowly get drawn into the echo chamber of the subject you were investigating. The mindless algorithms just keeps feeding and I suddenly realised that the information that you are finding is just REPEATING the echo chamber with very little if any original thoughts HOWEVER the comments section is the saving grace. Apart from the angry trolling you're exposed to.. Just accept free speech and move through the fog of misinformation and you can find REAL GEMS of good input.. Take my exploration of the simple thing of knife sharpening. I thought I could sharpen a knife..... Simple... Yeah until you see what really sharp is, like cutting a sheet of paper that is standing on its own.. Supreme effort is required to get the hand sharpening perfected. I did succeed and it was very satisfying... But I fear that the authorities will not tolerate the freedom of speech much longer in their nanny state approach... We must not have throttling We can and must handle the truth no matter how disgusting it may be
