Quote by Sharyl Attkisson

“All of this evokes the dicta of successful historic propagandists described earlier. From Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: >"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." >"Keep the pressure on. Never let up." > "development of operations that will keep a constant pressure on the opposition." >"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." >"Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose." >"Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.”

“To excuse one for human assistance yet condemn another for AI assistance is a serious mistake the literary world is making — one that future generations will not forgive. AI will, without doubt, be recognized as a legitimate part of the creative process. And when that time comes, those future generations will look back and measure the damage caused by today’s double standards — the barriers that silenced authentic voices and denied deserving writers recognition and opportunity simply for using technology to express their feelings, share their visions, and communicate their experiences with the world.”

“Jilly Cooper's dazzling tales of glamour captivated millions — including Queen Camilla, who hailed her as a “legend.” Yet she was not immune to scandal: Private Eye exposed her plagiarism, which she later admitted. The literary world accepted her admission and soon forgot about it. In a similar situation, however, the same world reacted with outrage when Japanese author Rie Kudan admitted to using AI. This double standard raises the question: why is human borrowing accepted as part of the creative process, but AI is not?”

“[...] I cannot in any degree approve of those restless and busy meddlers who, called neither by birth nor fortune to take part in the management of public affairs, are yet always projecting reforms; and if I thought that this [treatise] contained [anything] which might justify the suspicion that I was a victim of such folly, I would by no means permit its publication.”

“If people know the vaccines which are available, and understand their benefits and risks, they will come of their own volition and take the vaccines themselves or request them for their children. There should be no compulsion by the state to force vaccinations of any kind. If these vaccines are worthy of merit and consideration, and the people are given enough information concerning their risks and benefits, then the people will seek them out of their own accord and be able to decide whether or not the vaccinations are right for themselves and their families... ...The people of the United States are intelligent people. Provide the information and allow them to decide. Vaccination should always be a choice, and never a mandate.”

“People are creators. But I doubt that many realize this. We are not meant to go out into the world and find flawless things, we are not meant to sit down and have flawless things fall into our laps. But we are creators. We can create a beautiful thing out of what we have. The problem with idealistic people is that they see themselves as receivers instead of creators, they end up hunting for the flaw in everything in order to measure it up to their ideals. Now, when you see yourself as a creator, you can look at a chunk of marble and see the angel within it. Then you carve until you have set that angel free.”
