Echoes of Flavio's Ghost Dreaming

@GreekAnalyst on Twitter:
Brexit 52-48: "Clear, decisive victory."
Trump 46-48: "The people have spoken."
Macron 66-34: "OMG France is so divided."

Opened the Youtube app in my TV, which I had never done. Couldn't be bothered to log in letter-by-letter with the TV's remote so just had a browse. It's an eye opener. The documentary and tech sections are full of the Ancient Hidden Wisdom of the Pyramids, the Antigravity Spacecraft that the USA manufactured using alien technology, General Flynn's Was A Political Assassination, Secrets of Area 51, Massive Lake of Molten Carbon Under US and a whole lot of other stuff like that. I'm not surprised now that people voted for Trump, for Brexit. I don't think Youtube moulds public opinion like that but it will confirm people's biases and wild beliefs, supporting them with a deep authoritative voice off screen and CGI or carefully edited footage.

On an early morning train to Watford for my school teaching day there. Still dark at 7:40 am, me no likes. People with long faces reading those free papers with lurid headlines. Scary to think that all those morning people on the train may derive their views on the world fr the free tabloid newspapers they’re reading.

I need more coffee. Good morning.
