This is my 2019 Movie Trailer Mashup, and this tweet is getting pinned big time. You know what happens now. (Please retweet and share!) https://t.co/dihUdfJdaN
Naval: Elon Musk y Jeff Bezos tienen el mismo iPhone que tú. Comen básicamente igual que tú. Y no son inmortales: tú probablemente tienes mejor dieta, más tiempo para el gimnasio y más juventud que ellos.
Esa compresión de la brecha real de bienestar no cayó del cielo. Viene de la producción en masa, la especialización, la división del trabajo y el capitalismo.
Pero es fácil ignorarlo y "agitar". Porque protestar te sube en la jerarquía de estatus: te hace ver como luchador de causas nobles. La gente hoy no busca riqueza, busca estatus.
Y ahí está el problema:
La riqueza es suma positiva — se crea, se multiplica, alcanza para todos.
El estatus es suma cero — solo ganas aplastando a alguien más.
Elige bien qué juego juegas.
The President of the United States just made the biggest mistake any president could ever make. He expected fealty and got a leader who stood up and said we are not going to be f*cked over by you.
For all those saying nobody dare stand up to Trump. This is how it’s done. Time for Europe to step up now.
Venezolanos,
Hoy, el Bravo Pueblo demostró cómo se VENCE al miedo!
Nunca me he sentido tan orgullosa de ser venezolana.
Gracias, gracias, a todos los ciudadanos que salieron a las calles a reivindicar nuestra victoria del 28 de julio y a COBRARLA!
Mi corazón está con el venezolano que fue herido de bala cuando las fuerzas represivas del régimen me detuvieron.
Yo estoy ahora en un lugar seguro y con más determinación que nunca antes de seguir junto a ustedes HASTA EL FINAL!
Mañana voy a comunicarles lo ocurrido hoy y lo que viene.
Venezuela será LIBRE!
GLORIA AL BRAVO PUEBLO!
Sooner or later there are so many divisions & attempts to split ideas, stances and groups that no one can possibly fit into any single definition or label… and then we can finally focus on the real work of creating novel, benevolent solutions to the problems we all face. Unity.
"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious." - Carl Jung

A core parenting belief of mine:
One of the most important things we can do for our kids is help them learn the power of their imaginations
But you have to contend with the constant onslaught of overstimulating screens
Here's 2 ways we beat screens:
First: reading, every day, no exceptions
In addition to the obvious benefits of being a strong reader, stories in books help open up the imagination and broaden our kids' worlds.
They expand their ideas of what's possible. My advice is start the reading habit as early as possible, and let your kids see you reading as often as you can
Second: audio stories
As an alternative to screens, we listen to audio stories (I even create one for 3-8 year olds that I'll link in a follow-up post). We listen to them together with our oldest son. You can SEE him engaging with the audio in a way he never does with screens. You can see his brain working. You can see him filling in the blanks in his mind.
Whereas if he was just watching a screen, there are no blanks to fill in. No imagining, no envisioning. Just consuming.
"Imagination rules the world"
- Napoleon Bonaparte
This quote is more powerful than people realize
It's impossible to build anything if you can't first imagine it
Everything ever created by man first existed in someone's imagination
Imagination is a muscle. And too much screen time just atrophies it.
