It's about power and money, not about human flourishing. So, before our LIVES become disposable commodities, How can we resist this digital coup against the very concept of life? How can we remind that consciousness, not code, remains uniquely human? youtube.com/live/37Au-1Af3…

The American government used a Russian agent, Natalia Koshkina, as an interpreter during negotiations about ending the war that Russia started in Ukraine. Koshkina has been serving Putin for what feels like forever and not just as an interpreter. Video: @thechristofiles
