“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.”

- Vincent Van Gogh

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

In The Brothers Karamazov, the elder Zosima makes one of the most remarkable statements in all of literature:

"Each of us is guilty before everyone, for everyone and everything, and I more than the others."

Our lives are woven together far more closely than we imagine. Every conversation, every act of kindness, every moment of patience shapes another person's life, who in turn shapes someone else's.

Dostoevsky understood that families, friendships, and entire societies are built this way. They grow through countless ordinary encounters that seem insignificant in the moment but continue echoing long after we've forgotten them.

That's why even the smallest act of love carries extraordinary weight. You may never know whose burden became lighter because of your kindness, whose hope returned because of your encouragement, or whose life took a different course because, for a brief moment, someone chose to care.

Perhaps that is what Zosima wanted his readers to remember. Every life touches countless others, and every act of love leaves the world a little richer than it was before.

One thing Europe still understands better than America is: "The Good Life."

Euros have a deep appreciation for art, architecture, culture, long meals, great food, beautiful churches, public squares, music, conversation, and life enjoying.

Not everything has to be quantified into a digit, a data point, or another “life hack.” They simply EXSIST.

Sometimes the purpose of a meal is to sit there for three hours with people you love. Sometimes a building should be beautiful simply because human beings have to look at it. Sometimes music, wine, poetry, and conversation are valuable because they make life richer.

America understands ambition better than anyone. We know how to build, scale, compete, and win.

But the Europeans understand something we occasionally forget:

There is no point in building a great life if you never slow down long enough to live it.

The Bryan Johnson story is sad to see.

But I’ve been telling you: life is not about turning yourself into a science experiment.

My grandmother lived until 90. She prayed the rosary. She went to church every day. She drank a glass of wine. She loved her family.

THIS IS HOW YOU LIVE LONG

Do the things that give you life. Eat well.Get sunshine. Touch grass. Love your family. Build something. Enjoy the meal. Drink the wine. Thank God for another day.

ALL OF THIS BRINGS YOU ENERGY

The goal is to live so fully, so faithfully, and so joyfully that your body MUST keep going.

Maybe Bryan Johnson’s followers will finally understand:

You don’t beat death by being afraid to live.

Incredibly rare for a tech company like this to pivot and produce something that is objectively good for society.

The modern tech playbook is to simply hoard as much value as possible while cannibalizing the brightest minds while slowly unraveling the fabric of society. Every "improvement" is accompanied by a dozen irreparable transgressions.

Imagine if we took 1/10th of the talent pool that gets paids millions to make gambling apps more addictive, advertising more invasive, and social media more isolating and put that toward objective goods instead.

Midjourney proves that this is more than possible.

@beth_tiedemann @HustleBitch_ Seriously! People judge if they get too much surgery and judge if they age normally. Pretty crazy.

Absolutamente increíble. Lo que hoy ha hecho Barcelona se recordará mucho tiempo. La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí y los que durante 140 años han creído en ello, lo merecían.

You may have seen a lot of influencers in the so-called “health space” say something like, “Modern problems require modern solutions,” as an excuse to peddle synthetic supplements and pharmaceutical drugs, but this is ridiculously irrational.

If you stray away from nature, the solution isn’t to stray even further away from it and rely on something not made from nature. The solution is to get back in alignment with nature as much as you possibly can.

A synthetic, lab-made substance created from petrochemicals and industrial chemicals can’t help you achieve that.

@DrSeanOMara You triggered so many people.🤣 but I agree, there is definitely a happy medium. Endurance exercise over a long period of time is a huge stress on the body. Just walk into any local ER after a marathon in that same area.
