“The opposite of courage
In our society
Is not cowardice
It is conformity
Conformity”
It’s a beautiful day to be alive, and Meaningwave has the soundtrack for you in the form of the effervescent new bop from Akira The Don and beloved radio host, author, and speaker EARL NIGHTINGALE!
The message of CONFORMITY (https://go.meaningwave.com/CONFORMITY), that features a performance by Earl sampled from the 1956 classic, The Strangest Secret, contains the key you will need to not only survive, but thrive, amidst the emerging AI apocalypse.
