"I didn’t feel ready to live in a world where others are bullied into silence by a techno culture that characterizes our singular voices as inferior to all voices at once. Once we’re seduced into silence, we have nothing left but the words of others."
I wonder what shifts if you change the verb tense in the first sentence.
I've read this a couple of times, hearing my own sense of righteousness as I struggle to respond. I do hope you shared your feedback with the author, as written - because I see it as you sharing your belief in them as a human being and as a writer.
"If you have a heartbeat, you have a few true words that are your own.
By all means, read, study, converse, research, experiment, explore every corner of the world of knowledge—but then stand on your own and speak."
Thank you. I understand. I won’t tell stories to your readers now. I love how you liberate the writer in us to have the courage to write our stories. Thank you.
Love this quote: If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”
I need to read this post again... but I'm not sure what being bullied by a small band of sociopaths has got to with standing up against the outsourcing or our creativity. The AI assault is is too hideous a development to try to respond with tact and politeness. But then maybe that's the diff between me and you, Rick... you've got a larger worldview than I have... so excuse my tunnel vision fury in the face of all this Artificial (so-called) intelligence. Ooohmmm....
