Eternal vigilance
Prompt "The price of Liberty is eternal vigilance."

Human beings have always had to be vigilant. Whether by keeping safe from marauding beasts way back when, or at other times avoiding being robbed by a masked Highway Man. There were those times when a fellow could be hi jacked off the street and forced to man a ship heading to another land. Pioneers needed to be vigilant to avoid being killed by natives when trespassing on their lands. So it seems to keep one's liberty eternal vigilance has been called for since the days of the caveman.

Certainly nothing has changed. In today's technological world it's even harder. Scams are an everyday occurrence in everyone's lives. It's even harder today as we are gradually being programmed to suspect everything and everyone. Now with all the fake news and AI we really can't believe our eyes or ears. So now we need to presume it's not real until they can prove it is. What do you think this is doing to our psyche? We live in a constant state of vigilance, more than at any other time in our history.
