And I'll be dead soon enough. What for?

If I was smart enough I'd help do that.

Beautiful thing about it is that you don't have to be smart to be useful.

Let me ask you something: If you could only ask one question of someone you hadn't met, to determine if they could be trusted or were on the same page, what would that question be?

Same thing I ask myself. Who is the I within you? Or more succinctly, "Who am I". It's a Zen koan and you can't answer it, really answer it, until you've spent days, weeks, months, years, asking it over and over again. Somebody sees, somebody hears sound. Who is it? Look for it in your own consciousness and try to find it.

Didn't mean to go overboard with the answer but I wanted you to understand the level of depth I meant the question to reflect.

Alright, good. Heres a hypothetical. There are a hundred people at your protest.. obviously some of them can't be trusted. What tool, method, or tactic would you use to flush them out or thwart them in a definite manner without resorting to breaking the law?

Critically you cannot ask them any questions, and can only make statements to them up to, but not including the time of protest. You have never met any of the people coming to the hypothetical protest and have only ever talked to them through text.

What do you do to assure police or private paid provocateurs among you do not use violence to provoke authorities into shutting down your organization, and/or prevent said agents from discrediting your organization in the eyes of the public?
