My favorite Christmas special, Twas the Night Before Christmas ('74)

We'll help our Maker,
to make our dreams come true,
'cause we can't do it alone, so,
Here's what we're gonna do.

You hope, and I'll hurry,
You pray, and I'll plan.
We'll do what's necessary, 'cause,
Even a miracle needs a hand.

🎲 "Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows" - Sigrid 📻

"There really are corrosive manifestations of hedonism, relativism and infantilism in our culture -but insistent contempt for nuance and reduction of alternative perspective to its most shallow or trivial form does not encourage the serious engagement Peterson presumably wants. This is an odd book."
We Who Wrestle With God by Jordan Peterson review – a culture warrior out of his depth
The popular psychologist’s blinkered reading of the Bible does his cause no favours

Alvin Toffler ('80) predicted a shift from centralized to distributed information dissemination. Cotton is right: decentralization is how influencers and digital platforms have reshaped political narratives. Information overload creates decision paralysis, amplifies nonsense, and coddles extremism.

Trump excelled at tapping into the information ecosystems where minority and young voters express their identity.

"Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things-trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones." - Puddleglum, The Silver Chair #CSLewis #narnia
