Best advice I can give to anyone:
1. Read Iain McGilchrist, but don’t idolise him.
2. Understand your mental biases. Yes, we have them!
3. Know that we can’t change anything but ourselves.
4. Be in nature every day.
5. Consume information. Not things.

Many of us having been calling for more deer culling, as they cause traffic accidents, eat tree saplings, etc.
But again, this could be another shift from 1 harmful thing to another, instead of curbing consumption altogether.

Apparently, it's fashionable to blame Marx every time you don't like what the government is doing. Taxing cash, held in UK ISAs, is due to Marxists. 🤷🏽
Just a point, Marx was hostile to taxes.

Wait, first Trump taxes Americans with tariffs.
Then he says he wants to give all middle class and poor Americans a dividend with the tariffs.
Now, he’s giving kids $1,000 each, to be invested in particular funds.
For someone who hates “lunatic lefties” he certainly acts like one sometimes.
