Feels brilliant, thoughtful and well connected. If we look through the lens of history, we are more able to see or at least believe we can see the connections. It is becoming more and more apparent to me that our federal leaders are following a less intellectual playbook. It is more about “I heard that..” and so..”I want that…” Because history does teach us that man (people) have an unending appetite for power. It is a psychological black hole which can’t be satiated. This past week is a clear example. One of the most powerful people in the entire planet needs mama to put his art on the fridge. He needs his name on everything because he doesn’t believe he has value. He doesn’t believe it.. it doesn’t matter what we think. Why is Putin doing what he is doing? Because he wants to the one to bring the old empire back to where it needs to be… HE NEEDS TO BE THE ONE. Pick your leader and see they are a psychological bleeder. The quiet men and women of the world want peace while the people needing to be in front of the camera require chaos at any and all costs. Yeah, it hurts but here is the worst part.. the people who think .. like YOU, they don’t get the views, the hits, the attention because, YOU aren’t blasting shock value .. you are thinking.. and we can’t have quiet and contemplative thinkers in the world, they may help achieve peace .. and prosperity.. just sayin!
Your contrast between quiet thinkers and spectacle politics resonates... Churchill once joked, ‘The best argument against democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter,’ but the darker reality now is a 5 second clip with a power addicted leader. Thoughtful voices do not trend, and that is exactly how the current algorithms were designed (by those with the power)…

A good friend sent me this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi_DoCC1XC4 and in the depths of Harari’s thesis lies the reality of the situation…
