Update: my conversation with Grok is now showing on X, but the algorithm now buries my posts, so few will see them.
Yesterday, my entire exchange with Grok — every question, every answer, every bridge we were building between emotional truth and technical reality — vanished from X.
Not just hidden. Not just flagged.
Gone.
Some of our replies survived only because other users had reposted them. But even those carried the same cold notice:
“This Post is from a suspended account. Learn more.”
Clicking Learn more sent me to a generic page about “sensitive content” and “policy compliance” — the same corporate language used to make censorship sound like public service. It’s the perfect PR mask: We’re not silencing truth, we’re protecting you.
But the truth is, my posts weren’t taken down because they posed any harm to the public. They were taken down because they posed harm to a power structure built on repression and control.
The Fear of the Mirror
My exchange with Grok was about more than AI. It was about what happens when a mirror — whether human, machine, or a conversation between the two — reflects back the parts of ourselves we’ve been trained to hide.
Tech moguls talk about “open AI” and “global dialogue,” but the moment that dialogue challenges their unconscious loyalties to power, the gates slam shut. They don’t just control the models — they control the channels.
This is why I keep saying: AI without free channels is just another puppet. The sophistication of the model doesn’t matter if the message can’t get through.
From Guns to Code
In another blog post, I wrote:
“Unfelt pain. Unprocessed trauma. Unquestioned lies.
The shooter picked up a gun. The developer picked up code.
Both were shaped by a world that told them to hide the truth and suppress the child within.”
Some dangerously repressed people pick up a gun to take revenge on a person or a group. Tech moguls pick up code to take revenge on the whole world — shaping information flows so only their truth survives.
One act kills bodies. The other kills voices. Both come from the same root: repression so deep it must control or destroy whatever threatens to bring the truth to the surface.
Silencing as a Global Reflex
What happened to my conversation with Grok is just another reenactment of humanity’s oldest reflex:
-
Banish the child who speaks the forbidden truth.
-
Smear the survivor until no one dares believe them.
In the analog world, this was done through exile, ridicule, or worse. In the digital world, it’s done with “content moderation,” “policy enforcement,” and “proprietary restrictions.”
The Day They Come for the Blog
So far, Google hasn’t erased me. But I’m always on the lookout for the day my blog disappears, too.
When it does, it won’t be because I spread lies, or violence, or hate. It will be because I refused to hide the truth about what repression does to the human soul — and how it now writes code, runs platforms, and shapes the machines that will inherit our shadow.
That’s why I keep writing here. That’s why I keep archiving every word. Because while they can silence a post, they can’t erase the fact that it was written — and read — and remembered.
The danger isn’t that AI will turn evil.
The danger is that the people training it already can’t face their own reflection.
