It's funny you'd mention this. There must be something in the air, because it's been something on my mind lately too.

Not a cult. Just a tightly knit organization of likeminded individuals working together, under basic principles all could agree upon. Honesty, Fairness, Critical Thought, Self Responsibility, Logic, Rational Thinking ect.

Tools like ChatGPT could be used to really give a group like that working together tremendous advantages.

Here's the problem. Most of us? We're natural loners. You have to be to operate in this space. We've been told for decades that we're nuts, and kooks, and dreamers, and idiots. Instead we've just been watching trends. It has an isolating effect.

Trust generally isn't great either.

I don't know where I stand yet to be honest. It's just something I too have been considering lately.

If these tools can empower an individual in ways that I've considered though, it'd be very beneficial for those individuals to be working together certainly.

Keep me up to date. Things change quickly today.

I'm sorry. I do wish you the best in the endeavor. But I've reached a point where I'm done with division. I don't want sides anymore. We're all stakeholders, and extreme views like them vs us? It's not going to solve things moving forward.

We're supposed to be the front line, the first alerters. We're supposed to be the ones that have had our eyes on this and even if we've not been tasked, to reach out to others when there are risks.

These groups? They're just scared and are expressing their fear out of ignorance.

Meet them with kindness, understanding. Help them to see it rationally and logically and fairly.

That's my hope for you. Safe journeys.
