Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. Ayn Rand
From Stellify-Podcast: If you were trying to control a population, what would you do? You’d make them believe their voice is dangerous. You’d train them to stay silent to stay safe. You’d convince them that speaking up is “selfish,” “divisive,” or “conspiratorial.” And it worked — well, for a while. But here’s the thing, The system doesn’t fear violence. It fears truth spoken clearly, without shame or fear. Because truth realigns people. It cracks the spell. It breaks the loop of passive agreement. That doesn’t mean you shout at strangers. It means you don’t shrink for the comfort of a lie. The system is built on your silence. Not speaking up isn’t neutral — it’s an energy donation to control. So speak. Not to convince the masses. But to hold the line. Because when your truth is steady, it gives others permission to stop pretending too.
