Farida,

If you are being block by the PTB, take it as a badge of honor.

I realize it sucks, in terms of just striking up interesting feedback and conversations, but given the current situation, it seems being as intellectually anodyne as possible is the only thing Being Promoted will tolerate.

Do you really want to be Taylor Swift?

The larger the crowd, the lower the common denominators required.

This too shall pass.
