Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.
I heard one of the greatest quotes yesterday from President
Joe Biden. He said, the most dangerous part of destroying
democracy isn't at the end of a barrel. It's located

(00:23):
in the silence. The most dangerous part of destroying democracy
isn't in the end of the barrel, It's located in
the silence. I honestly felt something other than what he
probably really meant. I saw it as a calling to
writers and other activators and creative people to not just
sit on the sidelines waiting for life and the headlines

(00:45):
to happen, because too much of what we're receiving from
the outside world is well controlled by the masters of
media craftsmanship. Being silent can destroy the foundation of democracy.
But how loud should the silent become? Will they be
recognized as leaders or just in the way of the

(01:08):
bigger guy's agenda stomped down by a news media world
overtaken by opinion and not an act of journalism, Which
is why podcasting and or listening to a podcast is
incredibly important to our process of what is right now.
There are no evil empires trying to shut down the
spoken word as of yet, but I'm sure it's on

(01:32):
the way. The most dangerous part of destroying democracy isn't
at the end of a barrel. It's located in the silence.
We all have a voice, and for some stink and reason,
the past eight to ten years, we've all kind of
just shuffled to the side. Some of us have put

(01:53):
ourselves out there to say a few things, only to
have our hand slapped. Sometimes it's like to punches. It's
led to other things as well that we're not going
to talk about. But the silence has got to stop.
We've got to start talking about the reality of where
we presently stand. I'm a daily writer. I put my

(02:16):
junk in this trunk, not for me, but for a
future reader. Dear future reader. This is the way that
it was. But am I on a box out there promoting, Hey,
we need change. No, so I'm guilty of exactly what
the President said. It's located in the silence. So I

(02:41):
ask you, and I challenge you, what do we need
to do? To take your mind, body, and soul and
your personal experiences and chapters and put you back out
here where you were eight to ten years ago. And
we will face the people that judge us harshly, but
we're going to have the strength of something called democracy.

(03:05):
It's a challenge, it's a change, it's a walk in
the right direction, because the silence is what's hurting. I'm Errow,
and that's what I was writing while the sun was
waking up on a brilliant new day.
