Eric Kay I have tried a few things, a Youtube channel, X, FB, etc. But to be honest Written Word Media was about the best bang, though it cost a few bucks.

Goodreads Librari...: Books with wrong author 3 14 Mar 28, 2021 10:58AM  
George Orwell
“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
George Orwell, 1984

John Bagot Glubb
“Decadence is a moral and spiritual disease, resulting from too long a period of wealth and power, producing cynicism, decline of religion, pessimism and frivolity. The citizens of such a nation will no longer make an effort to save themselves, because they are not convinced that anything in life is worth saving.”
John Bagot Glubb, The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival

“If something can cross over from conceptual space into reality, taking physical form, then something can cross in the opposite direction. It must be possible to take a physical entity, mechanically extract the idea which it embodies, amplify that idea and broadcast it up into conceptual space. A bigger idea. A better idea, one designed specifically to fight SCP-3125. An ideal. A movement. A hero.”
qntm, There Is No Antimemetics Division

“Ideas can be killed," she says, stepping into the airlock.

"How?"

"With better ideas.”
qntm, There Is No Antimemetics Division

Thomas Sowell
“There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.”
Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles
