"Thrive" is amazing must watch!

I'm curious -- this particular form of hypocrisy seems to bother you more than others. At least, I've noticed you post about it a number times. You don't need to answer this, of course, but why choose this specific windmill to tilt at, given all the other examples of dishonesty in service of agendas that are out there?

I don't look at it as 'hypocrisy' per se, but more fundamentally, as a theme of dishonesty which, after a long examination could possibly be the single most contributing cause of social disharmony or imbalance here. And, in every case, entirely preventable by each and every person engaging in that behavior, on their own. There are different forms of the dishonesty, one of the more rampant one's is:

I see that lying and manipulation is possible and have seen examples of such in action

My particular agenda wants to see the idea of X spread. But there also tends to be some frustration, impatience and a generally shortcoming of knowledge of what X is and how it can be beneficial. As I only have a vague apprehension of what X is and how it may be the 'answer'.

I suspect that X can not be spread or is being actively suppressed due to lying and manipulation (which could be the case), or merely lack of common interests.

But the suspicion is then not enough, a fabricated dynamic - a story, a rumor, is then created to paint a picture or 'frame' the separate, actual situation in such a way that my agenda gains more sympathy. This idea is that, through such promotion tactics, people start thinking along the lines of my view of what is and what could be (based on hearsay and tenuous and vague notions), and and corrective action is taken.

That framing tactic alone is morally lacking, and enough to promote confusion, waste of time and energy, and actual solutions from being applied, but it doesn't stop there. The finger is conveniently pointed at some (quite innocent) individual, group, idea, or institution which usually gets the blame whether or not there is sufficient evidence.

If the so-called wanderers are doing this, then how again is that raising the planetary vibrations?
