"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

“Fact Checkers”
A fact-checker is a title that gives an arbitrary sense of authority that makes anyone who argues against it sound like a fool because they’re “arguing against facts”, making their job one of the most dystopian, double-speak titles in modern existence.
What is Utopia?
The coined word “Utopia” is derived from the Greek ou (“not”) and topos (“place”), and by putting those roots together Utopia literally means “No place”. It is a fiction we all fall victim to out of sheer emotion and idealistic fantasies, and one that has created real life Dystopias.
