I’ve just returned from a two-week road trip across America with my kids—a journey that rekindled my deep love for this country… and also stirred a quiet ache I couldn’t ignore.
We didn’t stick to the usual tourist spots. Sure, we saw the Statue of Liberty and wandered through New York and Boston.
But we also went deep into the heartland—driving across South Dakota, visiting the cowboy town of Cody, WY, camping under the stars in Yellowstone, standing beneath Mount Rushmore, watching small-town rodeos, and even learning to shoot guns.
It was beautiful. Awe-inspiring. A window into the raw soul of this nation.
One morning, I was about to post a photo of my kids and me standing under the American flag—captioned “The Land of the Free.”
But my thumb hovered. Because something inside me whispered, That’s not entirely true anymore.
And that’s what today’s email is about.
It’s about freedom—what it really means, why it’s vanishing, and why we should all be concerned. Not just Americans, but all of us.
Where does America actually rank in freedom?
I was shocked to learn that America no longer ranks in the top 10 freest countries in the world.
In fact, not even the top 15.
According to the 2024 Human Freedom Index, America ranks #17—and it’s still falling.
Recent events, growing surveillance, media consolidation, and the erosion of civil rights are accelerating the decline.
Many experts now warn: the U.S. is on the brink of autocracy.
Why do Northern European and select Asian countries consistently outrank America in freedom?
Because they have:
- Strong protections for civil liberties
- Public education systems that teach critical thinking
- Universal healthcare that actually works
- Transparent governance
- Independent media (not owned by six conglomerates)
- Smart regulation that keeps corporate influence in check
Meanwhile, America continues to erode its democratic foundations.
Let’s break it down—with four global indexes that reveal the full picture.
#1: Human Freedom Index
Measured by the Cato Institute and Fraser Institute.
This combines personal freedom (speech, religion, and movement) with economic freedom (property rights and regulatory fairness).
Top countries: Switzerland, New Zealand, Finland, Denmark, Estonia
America? Ranked #17—tied with the UK.
Why?
Because of increasing political polarization, declining rule of law, and growing restrictions on bodily autonomy and protest rights.
#2: Press Freedom Index
Measured by Reporters Without Borders.
Evaluates media independence, transparency, and journalist safety.
Top countries: Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands
America? Ranked #57.
Why?
Because six corporations own 90% of U.S. media.
Because cable networks profit from division.
Because journalists are threatened and discredited.
Because truth is no longer profitable.
#3: Democracy Index
Published by The Economist Intelligence Unit.
Measures the electoral process, civil liberties, political culture, and government function.
Top countries: Norway, New Zealand, Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland
America? Labeled a “flawed ”democracy”—currently around #28.
The country that once exported democracy… now struggles to protect its own.
#4 Internet Freedom
Measured by Freedom House.
Assesses censorship, surveillance, and digital expression.
Top countries: Iceland, Estonia, Canada
America? Not even in the top 10—and declining.
Why?
Policies like requiring visa applicants to hand over social media accounts are undermining digital privacy — and global trust in U.S. tech.
Each index tells the same story:
America is falling behind.
So what does this tell us?
The idea that America is the freest nation on Earth does not hold up against the four global freedom indices.
It’s a myth—one we must lovingly but urgently dismantle if we are to build something better.
What real freedom actually looks like
Real freedom isn’t fireworks and an anthem.
It’s not red, white, and blue—it’s truth, agency, and dignity.
Here’s what real freedom looks like in a modern, awakened society:
Real freedom means…
Freedom from fear
You can walk down the street without fearing bullets, badges, or bills.
Freedom to learn truthfully
Your education isn’t censored by political agendas or banned books.
Freedom to heal
You can access affordable, evidence-based healthcare—without bankrupting your family.
Freedom to vote—and have it count
Your voice isn’t silenced by gerrymandering, voter suppression, or money in politics.
Freedom of thought
Algorithms don’t control your beliefs. You think for yourself—not how the algorithm trained you to.
Freedom to be who you are
Regardless of your race, gender, sexuality, faith, or background—you’re treated with dignity, not suspicion.
Freedom online
The internet is a tool for empowerment, not surveillance, manipulation, or corporate censorship.
Freedom to roam
You can travel, work, and live across borders without bureaucratic chains—as a citizen of the Earth.
Freedom to rise—together
Economic mobility is real. Success isn’t reserved for the zip code you were born into.
Freedom from war
You don’t have to fund invasions while schools crumble and families go hungry.
That’s what freedom looks like.
Not something you claim.
Something you create.
But here’s what Americans still aren’t free from…
Freedom from poisoned food
Michelle Obama planted vegetables. Conservatives shouted, “You’re taking away our freedom!”
Now RFK Jr. echoes the same message—and it’s patriotic.
The hypocrisy is wild.
But at least now both sides agree: America’s food system is broken.
Americans now die five years younger than their European counterparts.
Freedom from gun terror
You want a handgun? Fine. A hunting rifle? Cool.
But why the hell are AR-15s on the streets?
Kids are doing active shooter drills in kindergarten.
That’s not freedom. That’s national PTSD.
Freedom from mass incarceration
America is 4% of the world’s population, but holds 20% of the world’s prisoners.
Over 1% of Americans are behind bars.
Private prisons profit. Minorities suffer.
Land of the free… unless you’re poor, Black, or unlucky.
Freedom for your vote to actually count
Wyoming: 580,000 people. California: 39 million.
Same number of senators. That’s not democracy—that’s dilution.
And Puerto Rico?
3 million American citizens.
No vote in Congress. No vote for president.
How? Puerto Ricans are American citizens. They just don’t get to vote.
Make it make sense.
So what if we flipped the script?
Young Americans chant: Free Gaza. Free Palestine. Free Cuba. Free Iran.
But what if we said: Free America.
- Free America from propaganda disguised as news.
- Free America from the grip of Rupert Murdoch.
- Free America from billionaires who can buy elections.
- Free America from a system where corporations are people, but people are disposable.
- Free America from mass shootings—and the 25+ million assault rifles still circulating.
- Free America from the impact of foreign lobbies, like the Israel lobby, which spends over $100 million/year influencing U.S. politicians.
- Free America from racism disguised as patriotism.
- Free America from cruel policies that tear undocumented families apart.
But mostly…
Free America from the illusion of freedom.
Because here’s the truth:
When America is free… Gaza will be free. So will the world.
When America sneezes, the world catches a cold. And we, the rest of the world, are sick of suffering the consequences.
This isn’t about red vs. blue
It’s about truth vs. illusion.
It’s about reclaiming what “freedom” really means—beyond slogans, beyond partisanship, beyond the BS.
And it starts with us—speaking up, seeing clearly, and refusing to settle for myth over meaning.
In love, the American spirit of rebellion, and deep respect for what this amazing country could still become,
— Vishen

Your left point of view is clueless! Letting people come and go without being vetted is crazy, that’s why there is so much brutal crime. Savages animals that come from countries that it’s a way of life. Lock them up and get rid of them. What do you suggest we don’t lock them up? 20% in jails . Do the crime do the time. Being poor doesn’t give you the right to harm others. I could go on and on but you’re clueless.
Hello Blue Collar Worker,
With all due respect, your comment seems to carry more hostility than understanding. Vishen’s post isn’t about tearing anyone down — it’s about defending free speech, calling for global responsibility, and reminding us of our shared humanity.
This is a take on some realities that hopefully makes you think again:
The U.S. has only 4.1% of the world’s population, yet is involved in a disproportionate number of military conflicts. Again and again, American foreign policy has supported autocratic regimes and undermined democratic movements — not to promote freedom, but to secure economic and political dominance for corporations and elites.
From Central America to the Middle East to Southeast Asia, U.S. interventions often had more to do with oil, minerals, or trade routes than human rights. That’s not leadership — that’s modern colonialism, disguised in patriotism.
Domestically, the myth of “the richest country on Earth” hides a deeper truth. While U.S. corporations top global rankings, tens of millions of citizens lack access to basic healthcare, affordable housing, or living wages. The American Dream, once symbolizing equal opportunity and upward mobility, has become out of reach for many — especially those born into poverty, marginalized communities, or systemic injustice.
The U.S. also leads the world in incarceration rates. Not because Americans commit more crime — but because private prisons, biased laws, and a profit-driven legal system turn mass incarceration into big business. Minor offenses often lead to long sentences, feeding a cycle that punishes the poor while the wealthy walk free.
And here’s something you should never forget:
The United States itself was built on immigration — and colonization. European settlers came here seeking safety, opportunity, and freedom for their families. In the process, they decimated the Indigenous peoples who already lived on this land.
So when today’s immigrants come to the U.S. for the very same reasons — to escape war, corruption, famine, or hopelessness — they’re being demonized and turned away.
Why is it noble when it’s your ancestors, but criminal when it’s someone with darker skin or fewer resources?
What would you do if you were one of them? Wouldn’t you also risk everything for your children’s future?
You call yourself a “blue collar worker living with love and pride.” I respect that. But real pride means having the strength to question systems that exploit others — and the humility to recognize when your nation isn’t living up to its own ideals.
Vishen’s message is not anti-American. It’s pro-human. He’s speaking to a global audience about truth, justice, and awakening — and if that makes you uncomfortable, maybe it’s worth asking why.
We can’t heal the world by clinging to myths or silencing dissent. We do it by listening, learning, and standing for the dignity of all people — not just the ones who look or think like us.
Good essay and made me ponder on these things. I would like to comment on two points.
1. Learning- It is much more than censorhip. The education system has been used to brain wash.
2. Canada- I love Canada but fear there is no truth in it being included in the freedom of censorship. That’s a joke.
Unfortunately, Vishen, your essay, however well intended, is full of empty slogans, misinformation, and political bias. I see from the comments that you are preaching to the choir, and not engaging in critical thinking, as you say the public schools in the states should be. It reminds me of what has been happening to America’s Academic Institutions, where critical thinking is nowhere to be found, anti-semitism is rampant, and the Universities themselves have been bought off by Quatar and other rich Arab states (so it’s pretty rich, if not downright anti-semitic, to say the US has been bought off by the “Israel lobby”, when huge institions of America have been subsidized by Quatar and even China).
Vishen, I appreciate the work you do through Mindvalley, especially helping people see their potential and giving them the tools to achieve that potential. I also appreciate your thoughts on America. I believe it comes from a place of love. Unfortunately it comes across to me less loving than you might have intended, or it may be exactly as you intended.
You say “This isn’t about red vs. blue” but that’s not what I just read. It seems very clear what your political position is. That’s unfortunate. Unfortunate in the sense I believe your words would have had so much more power had they been apolitical.
You highlight some very real challenges that my country faces…with no easy solutions. And you talk about truth vs illusion. Whose truth? Your truth, my truth, someone else’s truth? Who is the gatekeeper for truth?
There has to be a better way for us to engage each other on these important issues.
With respect and love…
This is so true and it’s so good that you are speaking about it. But I do believe the lack of freedom in the US goes way back.
I came as an exchange student from Sweden to the US 33 years ago and I remember my neighbor asked me how it is to live in a free country now. I was puzzled. And after one year in the US I experienced a total lack of freedom compared to my life in Sweden.
I couldn’t walk to school because of the crime. I was not allowed to walk outdoor after 18.00. I was instructed not to open the door, whoever rang the bell, after 18.00. Our school had multiple drive by shootings and we had armed guards in the school. I was not allowed to spend time with my girlfriend without having the bedroom door open. I was totally blocked from world news and critical thinking for one year. The list goes on. I loved my year as an exchange student in the US but to call it a free country, even back then, is purely delusional.
Well, here we are.
Vishen, you finally said the quiet part out loud. Like so many others who’ve fallen for the Big Con of this century, you seem to believe you’re being manipulated by—wait for it—the one Jewish state. And, of course, you’re footing the bill for its wars. You referenced the conflict in Israel three times in one email. It’s clearly taking up some serious space in your head.
And I have to ask—why is this conflict, involving a country so small you can’t even fit its full name on a map, and fewer people than a mid-sized city, living rent-free in your mind? Especially when the world is burning in places you never seem to mention.
Let’s take a quick look at the conflict you’re not emailing your audience about:
Syria: Over 500,000 dead, entire cities flattened, and millions displaced.
Yemen: Over 377,000 deaths, widespread famine, and a humanitarian collapse.
Sudan: Nearly 29,000 dead, and 24 million facing hunger—including starving babies.
Democratic Republic of Congo: 7,000 killed since 2023, with 27 million people in urgent need of humanitarian aid.
Afghanistan: Over 42,000 conflict-related deaths every year, and millions living in poverty and hunger.
Ethiopia: Over 10,000 deaths in 2024 alone, with famine and mass displacement on a devastating scale.
But Israel? That’s your main concern. Surrounded by over 50 Muslim countries many of which are oppressing their own people—yet it’s the only Jewish one that sparks international outrage when it dares to fight back.
So what is it, Vishen? What really gets under your skin? Is it the Jews themselves? Or the fact that this tiny, historically brutalized people might actually have some power now? That they’re not sitting quietly, waiting to die?
I’ll give you credit for at least not parroting Hamas propaganda that Israel is “starving Gaza,” like that AI photo featured on the front page of The New York Times—a photo that was actually of a Gazan boy transported to Italy (by Israel, no less) for treatment for a rare neurological disease.
But just for the record: Israel has sent over 4,500 aid trucks into Gaza since the war began—into territory run by a terrorist group that barbarically invaded Israeli homes, beheaded civilians, burned families alive, raped women and children, and murdered babies. And still—Israel sent aid.
What other country is expected to send food to its enemy? Among the approximately 6,000 Hamas terrorists who broke into Israel on October 7, 2023, 3,000 were “ordinary Gazan civilians.” Yet Israel is expected to feed them?
Meanwhile, the UN sits on the aid Israel sends, Hamas steals it, and shoots its own civilians when they try to reach food. But sure—blame Israel. It’s always the Jews, right?
Let’s get this straight: Gaza isn’t “free” because Hamas keeps it in chains. This is the same Hamas that Gazans elected. The same group that fires rockets from hospitals, stores weapons in schools, and uses civilians—including children—as human shields. They deliberately provoke airstrikes from densely populated areas, then cry victim for the world’s cameras.
Meanwhile, Egypt won’t open its border. In fact, since the conflict began, Egypt has expanded its border wall and tightened restrictions. The UN won’t enforce evacuations or safe zones. And Israel enforces a blockade—not to punish civilians, but to prevent weapons from pouring in to arm the very terrorists who openly declare their intent to kill every Jew.
Funny how you don’t hear that part on CNN.
In fact, Hamas’s charter explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of the Jewish People. Maybe you should read it sometime.
Yes, Israel is surrounded by hostile regimes that have openly and repeatedly called for genocide, and spend staggering amounts of money and resources trying to make that happen. The real war here isn’t about land—it’s about whether Israel (and the West) are allowed to exist. And if you think it stops with Israel, you’re not paying attention.
And keep in mind that Jihadist ideology doesn’t just hate Israel. It hates everything the West stands for: freedom, pluralism, democracy, progress, and human rights. But it starts with Israel—because Israel is the front line. The first stop for those who seek to conquer, colonize, and impose a theocratic totalitarianism across the globe.
And at the head of this ideological snake is Iran—funding Hamas, arming Hezbollah, building nukes, radicalizing militias across the Middle East, and chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” in the same breath.
Just last week, Israel crossed into Syria—risking its own forces—to save the Druze population from a jihadist massacre. There was barely a whisper in the Western media. Why? Because it doesn’t fit the pre-approved narrative pushed by the six media conglomerates you mentioned in your email—the ones that dominate global discourse. The narrative where Jews can never be victims, let alone heroes.
It’s not fashionable to be “antisemitic” anymore, so the thinly veiled obsession with blaming Israel for everything has become the socially acceptable way to target Jews.
So again I ask: What is it about the Jews that bothers you so much? Is it their influence? Their survival? Their ancient spiritual tradition that makes Mindvalley look like spiritual preschool?
The Jewish people are one of history’s greatest mysteries. They’ve been enslaved, exiled, massacred, expelled, and nearly wiped out—over and over again. Egypt. Babylon. Rome. England. France. Spain. Russia. Germany. And yet—they’re still here.
Today, they make up less than 0.2% of the world’s population and yet have won 22% of all Nobel Prizes. Science. Medicine. Technology. Literature. You name it—they show up.
Maybe it’s not their influence that’s intimidating. Maybe it’s something else…
So, you mention the “Israel lobby” like it’s some grand manipulation.
Let me break it down for you:
Israel is a frontline defense against Islamist extremism
They confront Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran—so the U.S. doesn’t have to. They’re holding the line where it’s bloodiest.
Unmatched intelligence cooperation
Israel has one of the most advanced intelligence networks in the world. The U.S. would need five CIAs to match what Israel provides in counter-terrorism, cyber warfare, and real-time regional intelligence.
Joint military research & innovation
Iron Dome? Israeli innovation. Drone tech, battlefield medicine, cyber defense—Israel’s contributions make the U.S. military smarter and faster.
A tech superpower
Why do Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Apple all have R&D centers in Israel? Because Israeli talent builds the future—and America wants in.
Shared democratic values
In a region dominated by autocrats, theocracies, and despots, Israel stands out. Messy? Sure. But it’s a free country. Freedom of speech. Women’s rights. LGBT rights. Minority rights. Name another in the region that compares…
The front line against ideological extremism
Israel doesn’t just protect itself. It protects civilization—by standing firm against an ideology that wants to erase everything you and I take for granted.
The Jews are a people who refuse to disappear, no matter how many times the world tries to erase them.
So I’ll ask you one last time:
Why does Israel bother you so much?
Because if the only Jewish state on Earth—a country smaller than New Jersey, surrounded by genocidal enemies, under constant attack from Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Iran, the West Bank (and sometimes all at once), still managing to send humanitarian aid to its attackers, and leading the world in medicine, science, and technology—is that the country you’re most preoccupied with?
Then you may want to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
Freedom means responsibility. It doesn’t mean doing anything you want. It means having multiple attractive choices and taking responsibility for your choices.
America was founded by pioneers who were self-responsible, and they rebelled against rules and taxes that made no sense to them. The American Revolution and the Articles of Confederation created a government founded on the principles of consent of the governed and self-government, which was an evolutionary concept that made America the freest and wealthiest country in the world.
The change is heartbreaking because the United States government has become more tyrannical than England was at the time of the American Revolution, but this was predicted by the Anti-federalists at the time. The Constitution did not prevent the government from taking more and more power away from the people with ever-increasing taxes and regulations, as they predicted.
The heroes who made America great were entrepreneurs and investors, but as government power grew, many of those people found ways to take advantage of that power by buying politicians and forming corporations that used the force of government to prevent competition and/or cheat their customers. For example, big pharma and big food.
However, many (maybe most?) entrepreneurs these days are looking for ways to serve their customers, and they find their efforts stymied by mountains of senseless regulations. They feel a helpless regulatory fatalism. They struggle heroically to deal with a bureaucracy built on entitlement rather than responsibility, thinking there is nothing that can be done or that politics is the only way forward.
I stand for evidence-based hope for a better future. Technology is changing every institution. There are already entrepreneurs building decentralized consent-based jurisdictions. Unlike in the past, governance is now a service that can be profitably performed for a fee.
My mission is to inspire and enable entrepreneurs and investors to build more of those jurisdictions. I help them see that true democracy is allowing people to vote with their money and their feet, not filling out ballots for politicians who have no incentive except to get re-elected.
There is no need for politics and polarization if people can choose a jurisdiction that meets their needs. In the future, we will subscribe to governance, not submit to it.
Thanks for taking the time to research and write about this, we really need BIG minds and voices talking about the downward trend of the USA! I think you are correct in your messaging! Keep speaking up!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I know you may get some shit for sharing this, but as a disillusioned US citizen, thank you. Thank you for speaking the truth so clearly and powerfully.
I hope for the sake of my toddler (and fellow humans), we can pull ourselves out of the tailspin.
Wow. My opinion of you just shot up 100x. Excellent piece. It cuts right to the heart of it. Now, if you challenged unfettered capitalism, I’d quit my job and dedicate my life to you 🙂 I think that’s really the culprit – the singular love of money because in our country it is set up to actually lead to this end result. I’m a renewed fan of yours, though. This is a honest and fearless essay. Thank you!!
When I was earning my master’s in spiritual psychology I came across the Milgram’s obedience to authority experiment. It blew my mind wide open. I had a massive download (this was in 2013) that we were all just hypontized by authority and whether we realized it or not, we were governed by FEAR so that we could be controlled by authority. Since then, I wake up every day to help people FREE THEMSELVES and discover their own inner Truth and Liberation. To support people in knowing they have a lot more power than they think they do. It’s right under our noses and when we are willing to consider that we are not free, that is the first step to breaking Free!
Freedom, for me, is the grace to be fully African, fully human, fully alive in a land where I must constantly assert that my story, my dreams, and my dignity matter. It’s not yet perfect, but it’s a journey worth walking for me, for my children, and for generations to come. I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Psalm 139:14
I agree with a lot of what you say… but unfortunately, you make it sound like the problems are mostly coming from one side.
I can understand you want to be free of “Murdoch” and “billionaires interfering in elections”… I agree, and want to be free of George Soros and his interference and influencing elections. There are bad billionaires on both sides, not just one.
The public school system is a mess, because it’s founded on faulty principles. It creates worker bees, not independent thinkers. The solution isn’t throwing more money at it. The solution is more accountability and more competition from private and charter schools.
“Freedom” isn’t chaos at the border. Freedom comes from law and order. Coming to our country the right way.
Propoganda in the news comes from both sides, not just one.
Stop talking about racism. We focus on “racism”, it’s only going to keep getting magnified. Stop calling every white person a racist. Stop the nonsense victim-hood mentality of pushing “white privilege”. Start talking about individuals. Stop making people into victims. Lift ALL PEOPLE up as individuals with God-given rights and potential.
The “freedom” to kill innocent babies before they’re born isn’t “freedom”. It’s promoting irresponsible, immoral behavior. A nation that slaughters 1M of God’s children every single year doesn’t deserve His blessing and protection.
We don’t need to change the Constitution to get our freedom back. The Constitution wasn’t written for a certain time period. It was written based on human nature, which never changes. We don’t need endless laws and regulations and a tax-code that’s bigger than the Bible. We need to honor the laws we already have. We need to go back and honor the system that has given more freedom, more opportunity, more blessings and more prosperity to more billions of people than any other system on earth… ever.
That’s how we’ll get back our freedom.
Great breakdown of the problem as many have done. Respectfully, where is the solution? I recently attended the Mindvalley AI summit, and I wondered during the many presentations why we all haven’t engaged AI to solve this problem of precarious freedom. In America and elsewhere it’s been promised but never guaranteed. And, it will never be guaranteed while some humans continue to cling to old norms.
Mindvalley and many other platforms are trying to change that but we are still a long way off. While attending the summit I engaged ChatGPT on this issue and a rudimentary white paper was produced. The focus is on actionable factors that lead toward a playbook, much like Project 2025. And like it or not, Project 2025 is a well developed and executed plan to date. Some of the ideas ChatGPT produced in the paper I solicited included terms you mentioned in one of your presentations…Fluid democracy, citizen centric focus, etc..the point to be made is many progressive folks are talking about the problems we face and how bad certain actors are but not proposing real solutions like P2025. There is a progressive effort underway Project 2029. And with all due respect, it is not on par with Project 2025 nuts and bolts changes to the actual governance system we call our constitution. Project 2025 isn’t about buy American – it’s about dismantle everything we know about our governance and reconfigure from the ground up. It’s ruthless and intentional. It’s time for progressives to take the gloves off and stop looking for safe spaces. It’s time to fight fire with fire. Anything short of attacking and rebutting P2025 line by line isn’t going to work. Combat disinformation and amplify positive content might have worked in 2008 – it’s not enough today. Most democratic or progressive emails I read always lead to a donation page. That isn’t going to work. Get a real plan and then maybe people will donate time and money. I’m on board to change the way we combat this threat. Time is running out.
This is so important. If we love America and the world, we must help it to heal, for all. Martin Luther King’s dream is for all of America! Thank you for writing this.
Thank you for this beautiful, but sad reminder to us all. “Free America from the illusion of freedom” This was such a powerful sentence.
Thank you for acknowledging what is happening in America. I can feel the sadness in your words.
When I was growing up, we used to watch dabbed American movies. It didn’t matter if it was romance, war, sci-fi or horror movies, it always had this undertone of ‘anything was possible in the land of free’. and that ‘good will always win’. Nowadays, I understand that this simply isn’t so. Living in the America has always been complicated, nobody is free to live their life fully and freely, if they can’t afford to get free healthcare, medication, pay for the bills or fear for their own life just for being foreign/wrong skin colour/religion/sexuality. Unless people are rich, they forever live in the survival mode. Voices of hate are not only louder than those who wish for peace, but more violent too. It is easier to control people who are scared… The punishment for doing the right (humane) thing is very high. I applaud to those, who are so brave to fight for what is right, who make their kind voices louder for everyone to hear. I wish for people to be able to heal themselves enough to activate change for better.
Finally someone said it with facts to back it up.
What facts? Single reference to two think tanks? One being Canadian? And, please note that the reports were from 2024 – under a different administration! Re-evaluate your message.
Absolute TRUTH I loved reading this email the second of its kind Vishan has posted lately I admire your brave words of truth , thank you

Gracias por divulgar la verdad. Este es un primer paso, hemos estado perdiendo el compromiso que tenemos con nuestras capacidades humanas y han prevalecido un ser humano infantil y deshumanizado. Solo habrá libertad cuando comprendamos que tenemos el compromiso de no dejar arrebatárnosla, de actuar para que todos los seres humanos tengan acceso a ella y no sea un privilegio de unos cuantos.
Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you for speaking up!!! For providing useful information. For being a courageous example to us all!!! Vishen for president!!! 🥰
I was blown away at last week’s 3-day AI event. Not only was the content exciting and very educational, but as important, I smiled in agreement, admiration and joy every time your politics came through. I am so excited about AI’s potential and so scared of its misuse for evil. The critical value of your work is that you are bold and brave in your ethics. You are loud and proud to speak truth to power. I wish you had scholarships to the upcoming session so I could attend. I agree that the US is not the country we used to pretend it was. I learned that in 1964 when I realized blacks were still being lynched in the US. I have been fighting for justice, equity, inclusion & change ever since. I believe AI will exponentially increase the effectiveness of my progressive organizations. For that I am grateful.
You speak the truth with receipts. I refuse to succumb to despair. You have stated the facts so brilliantly that I’m encouraged and believe that millions will see. Truth, light and ultimately love wins. I must continue to believe that. I want I country to recover and grow from this trek toward autocracy.
I am disillusioned and despairing. You speak truth and your comments are spot on. I fear that your posts will be censored or no longer allowed. This country has trampled humanity and decency. At this moment, I dare not say more. I applaud your courage. I look for mine.
Fear. That’s what “they” are counting on. Let’s keep raising the collective vibration by “doing the work” and the fear will have no place to dwell.
I’m an American and, yes, we are in a really bad position and need the world’s help right now!! But how exactly are you proposing to help free Americans — and by extension, to free our human family — from the ills that bind us (inequality, poverty, violence and war)? Would love more useful insights.
