At 17, I went to the Pearl Harbor memorial to witness, and commemorate mutual/international military suffrage. Later, I became a US Citizen.

Only Americans should ever play/record Gershwin. No one understands American music unless you're home-grown. Best interpretation.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

Watching Herbie Hancock perform Gershwin and hearing Debussy, Ravel & Satie. There is a reason the French love Jazz. 9th's, 11th's, 13th's.

What did we learn about @realDonaldTrump at this #G20? @CUhlmann explains. #Insiders

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

Correlation is not causation. #1reason which condemns us to no progress. As a species we are neither logical nor rational.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

It's probably time that we looked at other countries to lead. Sociologically - we are behind. Intelligence should lead. Not childhood.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

To lead as #1 you have to be philosophically #1. That starts with education. Ignorance is not a flag. It is an admission.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

The World is a complicated place. Being #48 in education probably excludes you. Unless you have nukes to make a point. Cool to be #1

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

There should and always be a distinction between an office and an occupant. Values v. individual. Delta = societal malaise.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

Or even marriage. My "partner" decided that _______ and I abide. But, I'm innovative. Unless it's risky. Keep that day job.

Seems like reproduction is always the perfect excuse to cop-out.

To give back - programming & musicianship - the last meritocracies. https://t.co/y3bGiH7ySs

A question was posed in the last year - "Are (US) devs getting dumber?" Wrong question. Is average (US) IQ lowering? Same answer.

Bless you @StephenAtHome for your bold, unapologetic, bulldog critique of this current demise.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

When a country employs the lens of entertainment to understand reality, it is logical that #Comedians become part of checks and balances.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

I adore the philosophies of Ayn Rand. However, the philosophical assumption that people are rational is moot. 90% Of humanity is irrational.

[Brett Gibson @brettski66]

As a corollary, the history of humanity is not such. The US system is subject to the education/(il)literacy of its constituents.
