Resurfacing this because living in a state of fear (1) and of the wrong things (2) means we increase the likelihood we'll not fix the actual things that will kills us, in part because we're afraid of the wrong things (1+2).

1. Strong social bonds are good for brain health.

2. Competition and scarcity can degrade our sense of trustworthiness of others.

3. Low trust and high resourced individuals often seek isolation.

Are the excessively wealthy self-inducing brain damage by prioritizing wealth over connection?

This sums up the problem with this era of AI. It's infantilizing adults saying essentially "is complexity hard for you? why don't you let something else tell you what to do when"

My dude, life is project management and collaboration.

I don't fear being awkward in a given situation.
I fear feeling trapped in a situation I could extricate myself from if only I were honest and trusted myself to handle decently.

"I once heard a combat vet say: "We offer poor folks socialism to become soliders to go abroad and defend Capitalism. They give us free housing, lodging and food to diminish others access to the same thing." That always stuck with me."

Politicians are not bystanders to the affordability crisis. We can lower the cost of living and make life easier for New Yorkers in real and meaningful ways.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

When regularly called to create new and innovate existing, it helps to be relaxed and clear that the balance of novelty and familiarity can be a dance of delight.

What he said was always the same, expressed in the same words. The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else.

True revolution will come when we as a country stop mistaking the amount of money (we believe) someone has access to as a sign of intelligence.

There are clearly many miserable wealthy people.

Unlock the full potential of humans by treating all humans as the innovators/creators they are.

ever been on a flight with turbulence?
with rare exception the only way out is through
that's the whole experience of life y'all
you can be transported through space and time
in what feels like a blink
and when its rough, comfort yourself
and those near to you
focus on something in front of you

Let me get this right: you're so afraid of a unified world, because you ultimately feel that you'll insist on being an outsider / that you will be rejected. So you create / follow a mythology of the antichrist being a unifier to spare yourself from imagined possible rejection.
Get therapy.
