The War on Beauty 🥀 escalates in a high-time-preference society. Interesting that Plato already understood 2400 years ago the necessity of beauty to a well-functioning society.
Plato on how the aesthetics influence us (The Republic, p.97-98):
"It is not only to the poets therefore that we must issue orders requiring them to portray good character in their poems or not to write at all;
...we must issue similar orders to all artists and craftsmen, and prevent them portraying bad character, ill-discipline, meanness, or ugliness in pictures of living things, in sculpture, architecture, or any work of art, and if they are
unable to comply they must be forbidden to practise their art among us.
We shall thus prevent our guardians being brought up among representations of what is evil, and so day by day and little by little, by grazing widely as it were in an unhealthy pasture, insensibly doing themselves a cumulative psychological damage that is very serious.
We must look for artists and craftsmen capable of perceiving the real nature of what is beautiful, and then our young men, living as it were in a healthy climate, will benefit because all the works of art they see and hear influence them for good, like the breezes from some healthy country, insensibly leading them from earliest childhood into close sympathy and conformity with beauty and reason."

You can either be focused on the dying world or you can be seeds of the new era you want to see.

Isn't *questioning* the definition of science? How much of the "data" we've been fed to believe as objective truths have we seen be overturned later? Countless. The concept of "trust the science" in and of itself feels anti-science... 😶

"Never let the psy-ops traumatize you, because traumatized people are the easiest to control. Always take breaks from the noise to heal your mind, body, and spirit. Spiritual warfare works through psychological operations. We need to be psychologically and emotionally healthy to be strong in a spiritual war." — Laura Matsue

Boston Tea Party 🫖
December 16, 1773
Today marks the 252nd anniversary of the pivotal protest against British taxation without representation and the monopoly of the East Indian Company.
Initiated by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, colonists dumped chests of tea into Boston Harbour to protest the Tea Act, leading to the Intolerable Acts and escalating tensions toward the American Revolution.
They would fall off their chairs if they heard how much we're being taxed today... 🫢

The dark truth about Inflation and Consumer Price Index (CPI)—
"When it comes to price inflation, we are told to look to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for an accurate measure of how much inflation is impacting consumer goods.
However, like most government-approved metrics, the CPI is tremendously flawed. The CPI takes a basket of consumer goods and measures how much they increase in price over a given time period, typically monthly. The only problem with this is the CPI can be manipulated by simply changing the basket of goods.
If the basket of goods is filled with potato chips, candy, processed meats, and bread, inflation might be close to 0. However, if you filled it with stuff people actually want, like grass-fed beef, real estate, fuel, and energy, inflation goes to the moon."

This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish I had a father like you and it makes me so happy for your family that they have you. Canada is unrecognizable today, even from just a decade ago. I hope our way of life we are choosing today, with the help of bitcoin, can turn this around for the future generations...

If you've been thinking "Surely they must write an updated version of that book (The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy)"— they have.
After a quarter of a century, Neil Howe is back with its sequel to help us understand and navigate the storm. One of my favorite reads from last year 📚
