“I Have Nothing to Hide”- The Dumbest Lie We Keep Repeating"

You’re not hiding. You’re being watched. A brutal reality check on digital privacy.

“Nothing to hide” – said the species that shared baby pics, passwords, and their soul with an algorithm. A lesson in modern surrender.

Integrity isn’t a brand or a talking point, it’s who you are when no one’s watching.

Without it, all the riches in the world amount to nothing.

Black text on a plain white background reads: “If you don’t have integrity, you have nothing. You can’t buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing.” — Henry Kravis.

As an ex-quilter (old fingers) this makes me feel sad because she is using AI and other modern devices and fabrics to construct (Not Create) a "quilt".
As we die off, the traditional methods of quilting are fast disappearing. For example I know of very few who take the time to quilt by hand.

@sagebiel.bsky.social you do not want to follow me. I despise AI and the damage Tech Bros are doing to our environment by supporting huge water gobbling and power sucking data bases--not to mention everyone in the surrounding area of a data base is paying higher electricity rates not the corps!!

Once upon a time there was a country envied for it's 860,000+ pristine lakes, more than any country in the world.
It held a place of honour as the world's reservoir, and a place of refuge for aquatic animals, fish, birds and wildlife.

Then along came men who ignored the warnings of those before; they allowed themselves to succumb to a powerful evil force, and blinded by greed they dug deep into the heart of the land and extracted what they thought was a form of gold.

Egos inflated with thoughts of glorious wealth and power, they held aloft their treasure proudly announcing"We have saved the human race!", and an astonished and awed crowd gathered and cheered.

Learned individuals uncovered the truth and warned people of the dastardly untruths, but it was too late, too much time had passed and the people were lost in their addiction to an easier lifestyle.

The lakes became polluted, plants and animals died, then slowly the air became hotter and lakes disappeared. Intense scorching infernos raced across the country.
People were puzzled, then grew angry, later mourned, until the final voice.......

A children's story that should have been told in 1800

Again, from a distance all the in-jokes and sneery comments in US popular culture about Canada being a bit of a joke country are *very* familiar.
Like Ireland, just because a society doesn't react to them, doesn't mean they aren't registered & noted as insults to national identity and pride.

Just because a neighbouring country appears to be superficially similar to the bigger power does not mean that you can project the same set of assumptions and values upon it.
Superficial similarity blinds you to deep and profound differences that the bigger country is utterly oblivious of.

And just like Ireland, I imagine that Canadians know *everything* about US society, history and culture.
While the US is utterly oblivious and completely ignorant of even the basics of Canadian equivalents - a country they share a history and border with.
A blind spot that leads to overconfidence.
