Senate Tik Tok Questions Yes or No

The U.S. banned Tik Tok on government cellphones, laptops and all digital devices. Needless to say that Canada and other NATO vassal states followed suit. Why the ban? Because the U.S. believes China was extracting information it could use to put the United States of America in danger.

Tik Tok denied the accusation. Shou Zi Chew, the CEO even flew to Washington to explain technology to the Senate, on March 23. Committee members denied him the opportunity because they told him to answer YES or NO.  Despite all that, his eloquence shone bright. He jumped over hurdles and road blocks and explained how Tik Tok operations are the same as American video sharing apps.

YES or NO is territorial. It denotes power. It is water tight like a dam. It is not fluid like a waterfall. The territory can be a home where the husband says ‘yes dear’ to everything the wife says. Neighbours call him henpecked because they use the YES or NO rule in their homes.

Didn’t I tell you I’m tired of mac n cheese?

Didn’t I tell you to keep these kids quiet?

Didn’t I tell you to stop talking to that divorced woman?

Let’s talk about perception. People who demand YES or NO expose themselves like a frog’s back side. They spit out what they think is power, but they are in fact hiding ignorance, solid black like the bottom of that dam. The YES or NO ultimatum can also mask guilt and weaknesses. The wife cooks mac n cheese because he doesn’t give her money for meat, chicken or fish. He demands silence from his kids because he’s busy online talking to other people’s kids. He hates that divorced woman across the street because she says no, to his advances.

We are not U.S. Senators. That is why we should arm ourselves with information, so that we can neutralize YES or NO panels.
