“To do things right, first you need love, then technique.” - Antoni Gaudí
Inspired by nature, Gaudí rejected norms defined by a cold and rigid body w/limited vision. Authoritarian systems reject individuality because it represents true freedom.
Lead with love, reject conformity, protect freedom.

After Nancy Mace's explosive speech on the House floor, she encouraged Americans to call a new "victim hotline" set up by her office.
But advocates and experts in her district are sounding the alarm: Do not call this a "hotline." In fact, they warn, it's best not to call it at all.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of Elon’s effort to eliminate it is that Americans will have no recourse when they’re screwed over by a bank.
