Between 2020 to 2022 I was a committed Buddhist, it matched my narrative of it shouldnโt be there any judgement day , I remember when I first learnt about Samsara it matched my thinking at that time ( natural law AkA Karma was much better than believing in a divine god )

It also made me think about Egypt and how grueling intercity travel can be. Beyond the endless security checkpoints in every village and the chaotic, unplanned speed bumps on every road, you also had to deal with chaotic traffic jams, stray livestock wandering onto the highway.
The UAE is investing in faster connections between its emirates.
Made me think about state-to-state travel in the U.S.
America connected 50 states by highway and air, but we still donโt have a true high-speed rail network connecting them.
Weโre not missing the technology.
Weโre missing a long-term plan that survives elections and stays funded.
Everyone knows the Gordian Knot.
Few know the Isis knot an #Egyptian#amulet placed on #mummies to guard them in the afterlife.
One was a puzzle for kings. The other was magic for eternity.
OTOH
Everyone talks about cutting the #Gordianknot with a sword, but nobody talks about tying the Isis knot (tyet).
One is an impossible human puzzle solved by brute force the other is #ancientEgyptian magic meant to bind protection and life eternal. Choose your knot wisely.
