The late, great John Pilger. Old school journalist who always tried to find the truth from power.

In the 19th century, it was common for people to read every book in their family's library. Abraham Lincoln educated himself entirely through reading. He would walk miles to borrow a book and read it by firelight. No teachers. No curriculum. Just books and determination.

In fields that require solving problems, like mathematics and science, you have to actually practice. But in the humanities, extensive reading is almost all you need. If you read enough, you understand history and literature and philosophy and politics. The knowledge comes through the reading.

A focused hour outweighs an unfocused day.

Another $8 Billion to Ukraine.

The very next day, another $8.7 Billion to Israel.

Sadly, the U.S. taxpayer is not even an afterthought in all of this.

While American society descends further and further into economic and moral calamity, those who work hard are forced to watch their earnings literally go up in smoke.

Working for a living has been replaced with working for a bankrupt empire.

Thus Huxley says that courage is needed above all else:

The courage to suffer

If you’re willing to suffer but improve yourself, you’ll know yourself

Self-knowledge rejects the pleasure trap of New World

It affirms love for your own humanity, and helps others discover theirs

This physicist Richard Feynmann clip is fantastic.

He won the Nobel Prize, the highest award in science.

And... he is mad about it.

--

Every person likes to get feedback differently.

Some people want public awards or parties.

Others want a kind word in private from a trusted friend.

And will be insulted by an award ceremony.

--

We naturally give compliments like we want to receive them.

Instead, great leaders do this:

• Inquire how colleagues like to be appreciated
• Listen and customize their feedback style
• Build stronger relationships from it

As a bonus, they see you took the time to understand them.

And that is priceless.

PS - what do you think? Is he right? Frankly, I feel like he does often.

Russia is not the powerful nation it was a century ago: Russia is economically irrelevant, its only geopolitical significance is related to its oil reserves & nuclear arsenal, and they no longer play a meaningful role in arts, sciences & innovation.
