    Nah, it’s just time for a Civil War. Time to purge the leftist from America!

    this clip(shorts) doesnt say how the wikipedia helps with that, and this video can even be used by deniers to say that no ones wants to hear them…

    You shouldn’t have faith in your systems of governance, and you most certainly shouldn’t be trusting Wikipedia, the Phillip Cross affair being one of the many shining examples why.

      Wikipedia provides sources, which you can find in the index and then look them up on your own to certify its validity. Wikipedia still is very good, maybe not perfect but still a great resource.

    truth and facts seem to have become divorced from eachother. now it’s “my truth”. no one can own the truth.

    Cant trust wikipedia for sure. It is controlled totally by leftists.

    Doing things “Because Progress” has broken everything. Since it collapses and destroys what has always been the backbone of society. Only to replace it with systems that have never been valid. No matter how many times its been tried.

    Why would you spend time debating the mentally ill?
    Stupid clip. The problem isn’t how fast things are moving. The problem is we no longer have a shared sense of identity, like we did when there were only 3 TV channels and some of the sources of info are propaganda.

    It’s disheartening to see a website like Wikipedia to be so widely used as an actual encyclopedia for truth. Using correct terminology and wording to describe true events is so necessary.

    • Val Clowes

      September 30, 2022 at 10:47 pm

      😏 Slow encyclopaedias have lied since their invention. Sometimes the lies are made by omission, sometimes by commission.

    Soooo I should type my bullshit into Wikipedia slower, and it becomes more truthful? Sorry, but I still don’t understand, how the question got answered in this video.

    Wikipedia doesn’t teach us anything in this regard. We have seen the breakdown where political actors race to update and change definitions of words or descriptions of things to fit current “thing”. I used to give money all the time to the foundation, but I just can’t support it anymore, I don’t trust it any longer.

  21. NO SETUP SELF WORKING MATHEMATICAL CARD TRICKS

    and it even makes us poorer. everytime a new product or way to make money is announced

    Sorry. ‘1+1 always =2’ is a non-optional technical convention. There is no compromise with not-evidence.

    Trust is a commodity bought & sold by actions. I go out of my way for you you look at me in a more positive way (bit simplistic but a workable hypothesis we have all proven). It’s not handed out to slick self interested self promoters. That’s where tyranny begins. Is this speaker a Covert Christian or the LBQ (oh can’t remember the rest of this tedious acronym) Messiah. Seriously flawed presentation from her aimed at those WHO WANT TO HEAR THE TRUE & REAL MESSAGE. Here’s mine I don’t trust any of you & you should not trust me because our species is a evolutionarily dead end

    Trust in our lying cheating stealing corporations that rule us, impossible once u know all that they do to us.

    Faith – pretending to know something you don’t know.

    I have no faith in my government and neither should you. I have trust and a sense of loyalty to the government.
    No faith in my spouse. I trust my spouse. I am loyal to my spouse.
    We need to all stop using the word faith because it is not a correct way of saying what you want to say. Plus pretending to know things you do not know is idiotic and neglectful.

    Trust, yes trust is almost non existent these days. Trust starts at the basic level, family, life, personal relationships. One of the original values to live by, to grow as a trustworthy individual. Without trust who are we? Trust defines you as a human being, for what else is left in life, death? Only our acts and deeds… TRUST

    “Moving fast” didn’t undermine our confidence in Democracy. Or mutual trust.
    A lying demagogue did. Fanaticism overrides intelligence and reason .

In a part of the United States with more than 17,000 years of human history, cultural preservation advocate Tracie Revis is working to turn the Ocmulgee Mounds into Georgia’s first national park and preserve. This park would be co-managed by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, bringing the tribal voice back to an area they were forcibly removed from 200 years ago. Revis explores the complex feelings of caring for this land and shows how it’s fostering healing in return.

A Path to Social Safety for Migrant Workers | Ashif Shaikh | TED

Hundreds of millions of migrant workers travel within their countries to seek out means of survival — often leaving behind all they know for months or even years.

Hundreds of millions of migrant workers travel within their countries to seek out means of survival — often leaving behind all they know for months or even years. Many face poverty and exploitation, and they need a robust social safety net to protect them, says migrant advocate and 2023 Audacious Project grantee Ashif Shaikh. He shares how his grassroots organization Migrants Resilience Collaborative is making life-changing benefits like social security and health care accessible to those who need them while also amplifying migrant voices — paving the way towards a world that supports the workers actually building it. (This ambitious idea is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
