We all create our own reality. Our reality becomes that which we accept from our environment as truth. Whether it is or not. Life is 90% perspective. If you do not like life then your perspective may require refactoring.

Journalists are never real journalists if they are the agents of power, no matter how they disguise that role. Real journalist [sic] are agents of people. Real journalists are agents of people".](https://friendica.rogueproject.org/photo/preview/640/17390631 "The image contains a quote attributed to John Pilger.

That adjective real. It is the precursor of a No True Scotsman Fallacy. The fact is that I have never trusted any journalist. How do you trust someone that has been taught a good reporter does not find a good story, a good reporter creates a good story. In creative writing & publishing we were taught that we could make even the most mundane topic news worthy. With the proper embellishments.

And yet there is no reason to have a society if we cannot be an individual in that organization.
I cannot completely agree with this. As I believe that even in ancient times conflicts were contrived in order to justify making and distributing more weapons. It appears to be in our nature. The idea that there is something for nothing. We believe if we are powerful that we can just take what we want. Weapons make us powerful, or at least feel powerful. There have always been entrepreneurs to take advantage of that mentality. It is not a new idea. In fact it has persevered throughout human history.

You like this quote 😀. Yet, Ayn Rand stood against most of what you value and endorsed many ideas you are completely against. This quote does state a fundamental truth that we all should embrace. Though, the values of this person are the polar opposite of what you propagate 😉.

Regretfully, so true. Isaac Asimov was such a great writer and his paranoia of AI has propagated to modern times 😉.
