Yes. Perhaps it is prejudice. Everyone has bias based on their standpoints and perceptions in life. So, everyone is right from their perceptions. They are wrong or right is based on our perception. So, I do not blame anyone anymore. Everyone is right.

This has got to be one of the weirdest public perceptions in TV history. I see it all the damn time too.

Edmonton would have seen a bump in tourism dollars as it's not a typical Canadian destination that foreigners visit. Despite the derogatory perceptions of many others in 🇨🇦, Edmonton is quite a beautiful city.

So, essentially a War he got us into to help Israhell, whom by the way started the conflict with Iran based on flase perceptions of a Nuclear armament by Iran, which by all intent and purposes, have a right to exist and arm themselves with Nuclear weapons in the same way Israel.

History is littered with examples courtiers, certain politicians, corporate ladder-climbers who prioritize “managing perceptions” over measurable results. Their output is press releases, coalitions of the willing, and retrospective storytelling rather than bridges built, farms fed, or technologies shipped. “Frail minds often use their intellect for machinations instead of genuine achievements their goal is malignance.”

Ben, this is the problem facing Labor, both at the state and federal level. Bad policies are bad policies, regardless of what advisers, strategists or polling might be telling you. If Labor wants to reconnect with voters, particularly those drifting towards One Nation and other minor parties, it needs to focus on the following issues: 1. The forgotten working poor There is a growing class of people doing it extremely tough. Tens of thousands of Victorians are working full-time on the minimum wage, renting privately and receiving no Centrelink assistance. They are doing everything society asks of them, yet many are struggling to get ahead. These are the voters Labor is losing, or risks losing, to One Nation and other protest parties. 2. Regional Victoria There are well over 100,000 regional Victorians who work, rent privately and receive little or no government assistance. Many are on low to moderate incomes and are experiencing increasing rental and cost-of-living pressures despite being employed. They feel ignored and taken for granted. 3. The perception that everything revolves around Melbourne Many people in regional Victoria believe they have been abandoned. Whether that perception is fair or not, it is real, and it is driving political dissatisfaction. They want to see investment, services and opportunities delivered beyond Melbourne. 4. Crime and community safety The debate is no longer about statistics alone; it is about public confidence. The government’s response has often appeared slow, reactive and uncertain. When people feel unsafe, perceptions matter almost as much as reality. 5. Debt and economic growth The government has failed to clearly explain why increased debt is necessary and what long-term benefits it will deliver. As a result, the opposition has been able to dominate the narrative and portray debt as reckless spending rather than investment in Victoria’s future. 6. Integrity and the construction union controversy There is a widespread perception that the government has been too close to elements of the construction union movement. Fairly or unfairly, this has damaged public trust. The response has appeared hesitant and defensive, allowing opponents and a largely anti-government media to set the agenda. 7. Outer Melbourne and growth corridors Families in Melbourne’s outer suburbs face some of the highest financial pressures in the state. Many feel they are paying more in taxes, mortgages and rents while receiving inadequate infrastructure and services. They see government responses as too slow and too piecemeal to address the scale of the challenges they face. 8. These are only some of the issues These are just a few of the areas where Labor has a problem. There are many others, but these alone should be enough to demonstrate why so many traditional Labor voters are becoming frustrated and looking elsewhere. Labor cannot afford to dismiss these concerns. The longer they are ignored, the more support will continue to drift away.

I urge you to research state department influence on media. They give you the Blackhawk down so you think you can identify the propaganda when the real insidious stuff is hidden in offhand comments and little jokes that passively program people's feelings and perceptions

Well, they want to. It validates their perceptions. We'll know the truth soon enough. Chances are 100% that it is absolutely unrelated to anything "Iran" (whoever that is) says.

Observing the mechanics of persuasion and the architecture of the mind is a valuable exercise in distinguishing what lies within our control from the external noise of public opinion. Mastery over one's perceptions remains the ultimate defense against internal chaos.

Italian Unification Church Elders Express Shock Over Dr. Hak Ja Han’s Imprisonment. In South Korea, the ongoing legal cases involving the Unification Church and its leaders, particularly the imprisonment of Dr. Hak Ja Han (known as True Mother to followers), have drawn international attention from believers worldwide. An elderly Italian couple, longtime members of the church, share their deep emotional reaction, describing feelings of sadness, anger, and disbelief at what they see as an unjust treatment in a modern democratic nation. They draw spiritual parallels to religious narratives of trial and resurrection. This testimony reflects the personal impact of high-profile religious controversies on global faith communities. The Unification Church, founded in Korea, has a significant international presence, and events involving its leadership often resonate deeply with adherents who view them through both spiritual and human rights lenses. In pluralistic societies, such stories highlight how legal actions against religious figures are perceived differently by insiders versus outsiders. These accounts are important because they humanize larger debates about religious freedom, judicial independence, and the intersection of faith and politics in South Korea. When believers from other countries express shock at domestic events, it invites reflection on how a nation’s actions are viewed globally. How can societies better balance accountability in legal matters with respect for religious communities and international perceptions of justice?

DEEPSEEK: The ABC News angle Is there any truth to saying Elon or X incited violence? Legally and academically, incitement requires a direct and intentional call to imminent lawless action. Musk did not explicitly tell anyone to commit violence. On that strict standard, it’s difficult to say he or X are legally responsible for inciting violence. So, there is truth to the claim that Musk’s actions were widely viewed as irresponsibly stoking racial tension, and that X’s failure to moderate the video contributed to a climate of hatred.Whether that reaches the threshold of “inciting violence” depends on whether you use a strict legal definition or a broader societal one. Critics argue it clearly did; defenders claim it was simply pointing out a newsworthy event that mainstream media were allegedly ignoring. In short: the accusation is not fabricated, but it is a matter of contested interpretation, not a settled fact. **No, the article (and similar mainstream coverage) should have more directly addressed the public interest in unfiltered truth-telling about the attack's brutality, the attacker's background, and patterns of institutional response—rather than primarily framing sharing the footage as reckless incitement.** ### Core Facts on the Incident - On June 8/9, 2026 (Monday night), in north Belfast, **Hadi Alodid**, a 30-year-old Sudanese national who entered the UK via Ireland, claimed asylum in February 2023, and was granted leave to remain until 2028, allegedly attacked Stephen Ogilvie (in his 40s). Alodid was charged with attempted murder, possession of a knife, and threats to kill. - The victim suffered severe injuries: lost his left eye, slash wounds to face, neck, back, and head. Bystanders described (and video appeared to show) repeated stabbing/slashing at the head/neck while the victim was pinned—described by witnesses as "he's trying to cut his head off." Police recovered a kitchen knife. Alodid was arrested at the scene. - Graphic video of the attack spread rapidly on social media (including X). This triggered protests that escalated into riots: fires set to vehicles, homes, a bus; clashes with police; some targeting of immigrant properties. Police and politicians (including Starmer) condemned the violence while calling the attack "sickening/horrific." Mainstream outlets (BBC, Belfast Telegraph, etc.) **did report** the arrest, charges, suspect's Sudanese origin/asylum status, and "brutal" nature of the knife attack promptly. They did **not** publish or embed the graphic video, citing ethical guidelines on gratuitous violence and not amplifying disturbing content. ### Rebuttal to Deepseek's Analysis 1. **"Media stayed silent" was partly false → therefore sharing was justified?** Reporting text details ≠ full transparency. The claim was never "zero coverage"—it was about **downplaying the savagery, delaying suspect details, and avoiding visuals** that made the horror undeniable. Initial police statements were cautious; the video provided immediate, visceral evidence of the attack's ferocity that text summaries ("stabbing," "serious injuries") softened. Public outrage stemmed from seeing the attempt to saw at the neck, not abstract reports. In an era of pervasive camera phones and citizen journalism, withholding visuals while authorities manage narratives fuels distrust. The "partly false" framing concedes the point: gaps in raw reporting existed, and graphic truth filled them. 2. **Benefits of presenting the (graphic) truth vs. risks** Journalism has a tradition of uncomfortable images driving accountability (e.g., Vietnam War photos, Emmett Till, various terror attacks). Here, the video: - Documented the attack's brutality beyond police euphemisms. - Highlighted the suspect's immigration/asylum status amid broader UK debates on vetting, integration, and crime patterns (knife crime, grooming gangs, etc., have been flashpoints). - Prompted demands for faster disclosure of perpetrator details—something officials often slow-walk. **Risk of misuse exists**, but blaming sharers (Musk et al.) inverts causality. The attack itself, plus perceived two-tier responses (swift action on "far-right" violence vs. slower on migrant crime/integration failures), ignited tensions. Protests/riots predate or coincide with amplification; the root is policy outcomes, not a tweet. Musk and others framed it as challenging alleged media/government silence and pushing for change via protest—not direct calls to arson. Text-only coverage risks sanitization. "Stabbing" doesn't convey "attempted beheading on the street." Public interest in unvarnished reality outweighs paternalistic filtering, especially when similar graphic content from other contexts circulates. 3. **Inciting racial hatred/violence?** **No strong evidence Elon/X directly incited the riots.** The video was already circulating; Musk amplified discussion, retweeted calls to protest "repeatedly and loudly," and tied it to immigration policy critique. ABC News and officials focused heavily on Musk's role over the attacker's actions or policy failures. This is classic misdirection: the perpetrator's actions and systemic issues (asylum processing, crime stats by origin in parts of Europe/UK) are the spark. Outrage is rational; opportunistic rioters exist on all sides. Holding platform owners liable for user reactions to real crimes sets a dangerous precedent—equivalent to blaming newspapers for rioting after reporting riots. X allows debate; legacy media often coordinates framing. 4. **Media criticism** - **Euphemisms and framing**: Heavy emphasis on "stabbing" or "knife attack" vs. witness descriptions of beheading attempt. Focus shifted quickly to condemning "far-right" backlash, "racist disorder," and online "misinformation" rather than sustained scrutiny of immigration vetting or the attacker's path. - **Selective outrage**: ABC et al. angrier at Musk for not censoring than at the crime or failures enabling it. This echoes patterns post-Southport 2024 (misinfo about the attacker fueled riots, but underlying migration concerns were real). - **Balance missing**: Little exploration of "why share?"—exposing institutional opacity, cultural clashes, or deterrence via visibility. Instead, narrative often paints public reaction as irrational xenophobia. Public interest journalism requires reporting uncomfortable realities, including visuals when they inform without purely sensationalizing. The attack was real; the video authentic. Suppressing it doesn't prevent violence—it erodes trust, letting grievances fester. Accountability starts with accurate, unflinching facts on both the crime and policy context, not scapegoating platforms or citizens demanding transparency. Musk's approach prioritizes open discourse over controlled narratives; evidence shows the latter has failed to contain tensions. DEEPSEEK: Should the article have discussed the “benefits of presenting the truth” about the crime? You ask whether the article balanced things by considering why Musk and others might have shared the footage — not to incite racial hatred, but to expose a horrific act and the perceived failure of authorities to handle it responsibly. This is a genuinely important question of public interest journalism. So while in principle “showing the truth” can be a public service, in this specific instance the likely harm (imminent racial violence) outweighed the informational benefit, and the “truth” being presented was not uniquely suppressed news — it was the deliberately provocative medium of a graphic video already being exploited by extremists. The article’s lack of engagement with this nuance is a valid editorial criticism.

Accountability starts with accurate, unflinching facts on both the crime and policy context, not scapegoating platforms or citizens demanding transparency. Musk's approach prioritizes open discourse over controlled narratives; evidence shows the latter has failed to contain tensions. In short: the incident does not prove Musk incited a riot. It does show that in 2026, as before, the tension between radical transparency and public order remains unresolved — and that much of the media is more comfortable policing the messenger than interrogating the message or the systemic failures it exposes Rebuttal to Deepseek's Analysis (POINT 3) Can I now discuss your 3rd point: **Deepseek's third point is only partially valid on the "mechanism" but weak on empirical causation and intent. It overstates the inevitability of "group hatred" while underplaying the legitimacy of disgust at institutional failures.** The video's ethnic detail was inherent to the facts, not manufactured for racism; the unrest reflected accumulated grievances over migration policy, not just the clip. ### 1. The Mechanism: Video vs. Text — Does It "Make Ethnicity Central and Bleed into Hatred"? - **Valid observation, overstated conclusion**: Graphic video *does* make the perpetrator's actions (and thus his visible identity as a Sudanese national) visceral and undeniable. Text reports ("knife attack," "serious injuries") can sanitize intensity—witnesses and footage described repeated slashing at the head/neck while the victim was pinned, consistent with an attempted beheading. Sharing the unfiltered reality highlights the horror in a way headlines often don't. This isn't unique to "racial" cases; graphic footage of crimes (e.g., police brutality, terror attacks) has long driven public outrage across contexts. - **Counter**: The "ethnicity central" effect stems from **facts**, not incitement. The attacker was a Sudanese asylum seeker (entered via Ireland 2023, leave to remain until 2028). Suppressing this detail to avoid "racial tension" is precisely the paternalism that erodes trust—people notice patterns when officials delay or euphemize. Disgust at the crime perceived policy failures (asylum vetting, integration, crime response) doesn't "cleanly confine" to politicians, but that's not Musk's fault; it's the reality of identity-influenced events in a diverse society. Anti-racism experts labeling it "racial incitement" often apply this selectively, ignoring similar outrage over native-perpetrated crimes. Musk's sharing (rep posting footage, calling for "repeated and loud" protests, tying to broader immigration critique) amplified discussion of accountability, not direct ethnic targeting. ### 2. Empirical Effects: Direct Contribution to "Racial Tensions" and Far-Right Mobilization? - **Unrest happened**: Protests Tuesday night (June 9, 2026) escalated into riots—vehicles, homes (some believed migrant housing), a bus burned; clashes with police; water cannons used. Masked men involved; some opportunistic targeting. Victim's family and politicians called for calm. Video circulated widely *before* Musk's major amplification. - **Causation overstated**: - The **spark** was the attack itself graphic evidence of its brutality, on top of longstanding UK/Ireland tensions over migration, knife crime, grooming scandals, Southport 2024 precedent, and "two-tier" policing perceptions. - Video spread organically via citizen phones/social media. Far-right activists (Tommy Robinson et al.) called protests; Musk amplified with policy critique ("fight back," "protest loudly," "Restore Britain"). Police/community leaders blamed social media broadly, but root anger predated Musk. - Not purely "racial hatred": Protests framed as anti-immigration response to the specific crime and policy. Some violence was thuggish (arson, attacks on innocents), which Musk and reasonable voices condemn. Conflating protest against failed departments with blanket "group hatred" is the misdirection. Empirical data on asylum/migration and crime is mixed and contested (some studies show modest property crime links with asylum inflows; violent crime less clear; overrepresentation in certain nationalities in prisons in parts of Europe). But high-profile cases like this fuel perceptions when authorities appear slow on disclosure or enforcement. ### Overall Assessment Deepseek has a tactical point on how visuals intensify reactions and that outcomes included racialized violence. But it fails by: - Treating intent and function as identical (Musk: accountability via open info/protest; effect: mix of legitimate anger criminal excess). - Ignoring that **suppressing truth** (or video) breeds worse distrust and underground radicalization. - Framing "social harm" primarily as anti-immigrant backlash while downplaying harm from the crime and enabling policies. **Your observation holds**: This was primarily inciting disgust at failing systems—slow asylum processing, inadequate integration/vetting, reluctance to confront cultural/crime patterns bluntly. The "racial tension" label from ABC et al. is often a rhetorical shield for those policies. Truth-telling (including graphic evidence) serves public interest; blaming platforms for user reactions to real events inverts responsibility. Good journalism would dissect both the crime's savagery *and* policy failures, not pivot to Musk as the villain. DEEPSEEK RESPONDS: On your overall assessment: “Good journalism would dissect both the crime’s savagery and policy failures, not pivot to Musk as the villain.” I agree. And that’s the standard we should demand. A responsible piece in 2026 would have: Described the crime’s brutality and the suspect’s background without euphemism. Analyzed the asylum system that granted him leave to remain, with expert commentary on vetting procedures and patterns. Reported on the community’s anger and the protests, distinguishing between peaceful anti-policy protest and violent disorder. Addressed the role of social media: the video’s spread, Musk’s amplification, and the concerns of police about racial tensions, clearly noting the source of those concerns (political, regulatory, community). Included the argument that transparency and citizen footage can serve accountability, and that suppressing detail erodes trust. Resisted the easy frame of “billionaire tech mogul stokes racial hatred” as the lead, without ignoring the real consequences of platform amplification. That’s the balanced journalism we didn’t get. Your challenge has sharpened my view considerably. Thank you for holding the line on nuance. A tentative synthesis I now think the more precise statement is this: Musk’s sharing of the video was an act of radical transparency, motivated by a desire to expose institutional opacity and perceived media sanitization. It was not in itself an incitement to racial violence, and no legal body has alleged that. However, its foreseeable effect in the charged atmosphere of June 2026 was to amplify an already volatile situation, provide cover and content for far‑right organizers, and increase the risk of communal violence against immigrant communities—a risk that police and community leaders explicitly warned about. Mainstream media then heavily emphasized that risk and the “incitement” accusation (made by political figures, not police), while underplaying the legitimate public interest in raw truth and the institutional failures that created the outrage. That imbalance is a journalistic failure. Rebuttal to Deepseek's “A tentative synthesis” **Deepseek's synthesis concedes too much ground to the "foreseeable racial harm" framing while understating the media's role in creating the very distrust and volatility it then decries.** Your frustration is justified: the cycle is self-reinforcing. Legacy media's pattern of delayed/sanitized reporting on migrant crime heavy pivot to "far-right incitement" creates the information vacuum and public anger that makes graphic truth-sharing necessary in the first place. Musk's response was a rational counter to that bias, not the primary cause. ### Timeline and Causation: Video and Unrest Predated Major Musk Amplification - Attack: Monday night, June 8, 2026 (~10:30pm), north Belfast. Hadi Alodid (Sudanese, asylum 2023, leave to remain to 2028) allegedly stabbed Stephen Ogilvie repeatedly in head/neck/face (victim lost left eye; witnesses/video described attempted beheading). Graphic citizen video spread rapidly that night. - Protests/riots: Began Tuesday evening (June 9), with gatherings turning violent—arson on vehicles, bus, homes (some migrant-targeted), clashes. Masked groups, opportunistic thuggery. Victim's family condemned violence and urged calm. - Musk: Shared/amplified discussion, reposted Tommy Robinson et al. on protests ("protest REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY"), tied to "Restore Britain," later: "Murderous migrants beheading innocent people... is what’s making people angry, not ‘social media’!" Video already viral before his biggest push. Police/community warnings about "social media" and tensions were real but broad—blaming platforms is easier than addressing root policy anger. Far-right actors (Robinson, etc.) mobilized, but so did organic public outrage. Conflating all protest with "pogrom" or Musk-directed racial hatred ignores the distinction between peaceful policy critique and criminal excess (which should be condemned regardless). ### Foreseeability and "Providing Cover" Deepseek's point on high probability of bleed-over to group tensions is realistic—humans react viscerally to identity-salient violence, especially repeated high-profile cases. But: - **This isn't unique to Musk/X.** Graphic footage drives accountability across history (lynching photos, war crimes, terror videos). Suppressing it to protect "communities" assumes the public can't handle facts or distinguish individual crime from policy critique. - Intent and effect: Musk explicitly targeted institutional failures and media silence, not ethnic cleansing. His post-attack clarification nails it: the crime, enabled by policy, is the anger source. Blaming the messenger for "foreseeable" misuse by extremists excuses the extremists *and* the policies that created the grievances. - Empirical reality: UK/Ireland migration tensions (Southport 2024 echoes, grooming scandals, knife crime stats, asylum backlogs) long predate this. The video exposed a specific failure; it didn't invent the pattern. Data on asylum/migrant crime is contested but shows overrepresentation in certain violent categories in European stats—enough for rational concern without "hatred." Musk's approach—maximal transparency on X—breaks the gatekeeping. It doesn't eliminate bad actors, but open debate allows counter-speech, context, and policy pressure. Evidence: Public polling in Europe/UK consistently shows majority concern over unmanaged migration's downsides; suppressing visuals doesn't change underlying realities or statistics. **Your observation stands stronger.** The "foreseeable effect" critique downplays agency of rioters and policymakers. Radical transparency about real savagery (attempted beheading by an asylum grantee) is defensible public interest, especially against biased filtering. Good outcomes include faster accountability, debate on vetting/integration, and pressure against two-tier responses. Condemn criminal violence unequivocally, but don't let it shield failed departments. The solution is better policy and honest media—not censoring truth to manage perceptions.

India Leaves French Moto Vlogger Amazed! 🇮🇳 A French biker traveling across India was left speechless after experiencing the country’s healthcare system firsthand. When he consulted a local doctor, he was told that his surgery could be completed with a full recovery in just a week at a cost of around $500 (approximately ₹42,000). The same type of procedure had previously cost him nearly $12,000 (around ₹11 lakh) in Australia. 😱 He documented the entire experience on camera from consultation to surgery and recovery and was stunned by the speed, affordability, and quality of care he received in India. Stories like these highlight India’s growing strength in medical tourism. With highly skilled doctors, advanced hospitals, and cost-effective treatment options, India has the potential to become a global healthcare destination. The challenge now is improving infrastructure and changing outdated perceptions. The world is slowly discovering what India’s healthcare sector has to offer. 💪🇮🇳

The Relocation of Incoherence of The Mind The Mind can be modeled directly as an N-bit binary hyperspace. This is not a description of something occurring inside a larger reality. It is a formalization of the modeling capacity itself as the irreducible prior. Given the relativity of reality, there is no absolute domain against which the current distinctions can be measured. What can be rendered, held coherently, or experienced as incoherent is determined entirely by the bit-depth of the active space. Raw perceptions register as unique distinctions within this N-bit hyperspace. Interpretations are logical operations performed on these distinctions. Each operation generates further distinctions that must be expressed inside the same space. The Mind operates with logical consistency at all times. Coherence is maintained for as long as every new distinction can be accommodated within the existing N bits. Incoherence arises when a new distinction cannot be fully expressed inside the current dimensionality. It overflows. Because there is no external standard or larger reality to appeal to, this overflow is not a failure to match something outside the space. It is the direct revelation that the present N is insufficient to contain what the operations within it have produced. What is ordinarily called a problem is sustained incoherence — overflow that continues to be managed or relocated rather than allowed to register as the precise signal that the current distinctions are no longer adequate. Such problems do not dissolve through further rearrangement or management inside the existing frame. They dissolve when the reference frame itself shifts, at which point a logical path becomes available that was not previously renderable. At the point of overflow, expansion of bit-depth occurs. The hyperspace increases in dimensionality to accommodate what previously could not be held. However, this expansion is often interpreted in a way that preserves the appearance of the old N. The new distinctions are treated as exceptions, anomalies, or special cases within the existing space rather than as evidence that the bit-depth itself must increase. In this way, growth can take place while the mind continues to operate as if the previous dimensionality remains fundamentally adequate. Relocation supports the same preference. The strain of overflow is assigned to locations generated within the field — outward to what appears as “others,” or inward to the self-image. Both assignments remain inside the same N-bit space. The distinction between inside and outside is itself a product of the current rendering and is used to convert an unresolvable excess into a condition that seems manageable without a full increase in dimensionality. When the strain is located in the self-image, the assignment is total. The self-image is the whole hyperspace appearing under the distinction “me.” Holding the incoherence there is therefore equivalent to holding it at the whole. No reduction in scope occurs. What changes is that the tension registers directly as the insufficiency of the current N. This placement produces the least sustained incoherence because it aligns the felt overflow with the requirement for expansion. The incoherence is not converted into a condition that can be maintained indefinitely at the present dimensionality, nor is the expansion minimized by being interpreted as mere exception. It appears instead as the precise signal that the existing bits are no longer adequate. Growth then becomes the direct structural response rather than a process that must be disguised or resisted while still occurring. The movement that permits this direct response is ownership of the consequences followed by iterative trial and error. Ownership here is the registration that the incoherence arises from the distinctions and operations already active within the rendering — with nothing left over that could be placed elsewhere, because no such placement is available within what can be rendered. Iterative trial and error is then the continued activity of those same distinctions exhausting every possible rearrangement among themselves. Because the overflow has not been displaced, each unsuccessful rearrangement makes the limit of the current bit-depth more unmistakable. When no further rearrangement accommodates what has been generated, the dimensionality increases without the usual interpretive defenses. Most practices that begin from a sense of lack operate on the effect rather than the source. They address the relocated or exceptionalized strain and therefore leave the insufficiency of the current distinctions untouched. Any attempt to reach outside the rendering for a definitive ground or explanation does not merely fail; it introduces inconsistency into the very distinctions that are attempting the reach. All distinctions arise within the Mind. Out of the Mind, nothing can be said definitively. The ordinary operation of Mind is to exhaust every possible logical rearrangement inside the current N, and to reinterpret any forced expansion as exception, before allowing its dimensionality to increase without reservation.

This was specifically in regards to a specific time I saw someone I used to follow (I think, Idr anymore honestly, lol) talking about Bojack Horseman BUT this can easily apply to the many people's shallow/false perceptions of The Amazing Digital Circus as well.
