Ironically, David posted the following Atlantic article on facebook today:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-2020-disinformation-war/605530/?utm_sfeource=ed
Once again, reminding us of the incredible power - and burden - doing what we do gives us.
Once again, reminding us expertise and ethics must go hand in hand
Or we are all lost.
I urge everyone to read the entire Atlantic article.
I urge everyone to stay the honest course, resist the shimmering urge of The Dark Side.
Ther is a reason Advertising Professionals rank below Used Car Salespeople (but above Politicians) in public trust surveys.
Do not be one of them.
Lest you be unable to look your grandchildren in the eyes when they breathe through their gas masks.
Lest you molder in a world of stagnant ignorant sameness.
Lest you kill the Gods of Creativity.
Lest you leave your great-grandchildren no Freedom of Speech.
Because you abused yours.
Thank you, David, for scaring the shit out of me. The article resonates, even from my garden in Cuenca, Ecuador, surrounded by the Andes, in my City of Dreams.

Hey Doreen! Hope the mountain air is treating you well — this is Randall Wunder-Smith, Circus Grad (December 2018), randall@wundersmith.com. I think of you often, my friend. Hey, please send me the latest version of the Copy Sins — I've got my tattered 2017 copy in my messenger bag right now, and I find reading them both challenging and oddly calming. This comment was added to your article on David Baldwin's Atlantic article, titled "In which David Baldwin reminds us to be responsible in how we do our jobs," posted Friday, February 7, 2020. Be well.
