• those with power have all-ways been able to rewrite his-story, while those of less power have had his-story written for them. 

• in 2025, the power shifts back & forth… as the powerless can write, create, and modify narratives.  in the same way, those in power can lash back, using artificial means to create 'truth.'  before long (now?), it will be impossible to determine who (really) did what, when and how.  nothing will be evidence-based, as evidence itself will be subject-i-fied. 

• so… what’s a man to do-be-do?  i think that the only course of action is to be nice now, while you can.  be grateful for the gifts bestowed upon you.  smile.  love.  now.

 
…and… in one-on-one encounters, let your partner know the truth: that (1) you’ve done the best that you could, and (2) you love him/her… now.
