I’d argue the reason behind the paper’s decision to publish the least flattering image of Robert Stanfield was the well known preference of the public of what they’d wanted to see in the first place. The devil doesn’t have to seduce us with his lies, he just cheerfully assists us in satisfying our innate propensity for self worship (Lacan’s mirror stage?).

In short: The enthusiasm with which we distort the reality (Baudrillard’s hyper reality?) seems to be anchored in total depravity impregnating our rotten souls.

Greeting Bother, I thank the Lord for you. Can you tell me how I might share this full episode with my Pastor?

I think that if you are a subscriber and you share your link with someone via email, they will be able to real the full piece. People have done that with me, shared something from a Substack to which they subscribe but I do not.
