@nicoleradziwill Unchained always sounded like “Jane” and “Chained”

Actually lyrics:
“Change, nothin' stays the same
Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'”

Great song, btw

The top 30,000 is not where most authors hope to be, but after being in the top 2 million, this morning I am feeling kind of giddy.

In the 1959 “Two Cultures” lecture delivered at Cambridge, British physicist C. P. Snow famously asserted that the schism between scientists and humanists hindered global problem solving. Referring to his interactions with scientific and literary colleagues, he said, “I felt I was moving among two groups … who had almost ceased to communicate at all, who in intellectual, moral and psychological climate had so little in common that instead of going from Burlington House or South Kensington to Chelsea, one might have crossed an ocean.”

John D. MacDonald’s Travis McGee series is set in FLA as are Randy Wayne White’s Doc Ford books.

I see many reasons for optimism about the future.

We are entering an age of renewed enlightenment where new designs, creations, and concepts will come to life.

The human spirit will rise to the occasion and will go far beyond the current boundaries of exploration, experimentation, and imagination.

[Gregory Conti @GregoryConti19]

Received a moving message from an aspiring mid-20s professional that, I think, captures an increasingly widespread despair among younger cohorts:

"It really saddens me when I hear about the work [senior people in the field] are doing. Their work seems interesting, and I'll never get to do it.

The people in their fifties and sixties, they're lucky. I'm even lucky. I feel bad for the kids who are fourteen. I at least got a chance to use my brain for one or two minutes, and that's still priceless. I got to be human. I got to be more than just some puppet who presses Enter so something can think for me.

It's very depressing looking at people who are sixty, who I would love to be in twenty years. But to know that I won't get to do that because Dario said so, right? And, like, that's actually heartbreaking.

It's heartbreaking to know that no matter how hard you try and no matter what you do, you cannot add value as a human being in a year or two's time.

It's like hitting a brick wall. You feel no motivation to build the skill, to get better, to attain wisdom and knowledge. It seems worthless to you. And all the older people are telling you all your efforts might be worthless, and they don't need you anymore. And they can just sit there and, you know, make money and leave you to drown."

@nicoleradziwill I do love watching old shows like that.

Memorable episode on the 1956 show called “I’ve Got A Secret” where a guest recalled seeing President Lincoln in 1865.
