“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years.”

[Brian Cates - Political Columnist & Pundit @drawandstrike]

Everything that has existed, does exist or ever will exists exists in an eternal 'now'.

But you are only mentally/physically able to experience a tiny slice of it 'all at once'.

You think of a 'past' that existed 'thousands of years ago', but it's not really thousands of years stretching 'backwards' across...what?

You're stuck in a mental concept that isn't real.

It's all still right here. Right now. The moments of Creation, the Great Flood, the parting of the Red Sea, the birth, life, death and Resurrection of Jesus, etc.

But you'd have to change your frequency and your body's 'programming' to be able to sense the 'past'. Or the 'future'.

The 'past' isn't gone. You're told the 'future' isn't here yet. It is.

You just can't see it, because you're 'wired' to exist in a 'present moment' that seems to be moving ever forward.

Does your head hurt yet?

I haven't even begun to discuss how his applies to other dimensions.

Charlie Munger, the Stoic: "Life will have terrible blows in it. Horrible blows. Unfair blows. It doesn't matter. And some people recover and others don't."

"There, I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well. Every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something. Your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity, but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion."

@delta looks so terrible here. They will cease to exist and not know that it was because of this decision. Ed Bastian is literally dim

@AmericanAir @Starlink @Delta seriously looks like the biggest loser. No one will fly an airline without Starlink in the future. Crazy to decide in 2026 for Chapter 11 in 2028 by ignoring reality and not offering the best (or even mediocre) internet.

In 2024, Peter Thiel debated Jordan Peterson on one of the most misunderstood ideas in human history

No thinker challenges you like Thiel:

Carl Jung had a strange method for changing your life from the inside out.

Not affirmations.
Not “manifesting.”

Practice these 4 steps for 10 days, and notice what happens to your anxiety: 🪡

1. What you refuse to imagine controls your life from the shadows.

@nicoraytruth Anyone as smart as you should/could do something productive. Running around believing in Harry Potter or DnD or BoM is quite something. You’re clearly intelligent and somehow you believe in magic

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

Attitude is a choice.
Gratitude is a discipline.
Bitterness is expensive.

Nobody accidentally has a great attitude.
Nobody stumbles into gratitude.
And nobody means to end up bitter, it just quietly moves in when you stop choosing something better.
Guard your peace like it cost you something.
Because it did.

I want to thank everyone for reading all of these. It really means a lot.

It was really tough to balance ‘not well known’ vs ‘badass’ for these first 10. There are so many to choose from.

For the final two remaining, they are both incredible stories of soldiers from two different times. I am excited for you all to enjoy them. I hope some here will have met my #1 and share their stories.

I don’t see how I can stop at these 10. I have so many names already. The show must go on.

Follow along and enjoy if you haven’t already! 🇺🇸

Here's what they don't teach kids about American Indians.

If you were taught the kinder, gentler version of Native Americans, you're in for a shock. And we don't honor them by pretending they were eternal victims.
