@MsMelChen In Texas we deal with the heat by allowing the free market to make efficient and effective air conditioning available to everyone who wants it.
However overrepresented black and Hispanic men seem to be in crime statistics, the reality is much, much worse
They are actively mislabeling non-white offenders as white to cook the books
This happens way too often to simply be repeated mistakes
Must say I appreciate when Trump says Communism goes back thousands of years. The other person notable for a similar statement was G.I. Gurdjieff who traces Bolshevism back to Ancient Egypt and the intervening years of chaos between the great dynasties.
Some things are true, and nothing is new.
Awakening means opening the self to a higher order.
The Tower of Babel means man cannot order his society intentionally without making a mess of it, but in looking upward to God he can receive something and become ordered within himself, and then maybe as a community.
How can people who are within themselves disordered (like all politicians and social planners are) bring order to others? Kids coming out of the school systems are trained in Decontstructionism and Postmodernism - they are literally taught disorder. No way any group of planners can come up with something that doesn’t make things worse.
Orwell's most brilliant observation in "Nineteen Eighty-Four" was that reducing a person's vocabulary also reduces his capacity to think.
Reading old or difficult literature will unleash the full potential of your mind.

@athenaeumbc Totally been my experience since joining Athenaeum. One reason I like reading on Kindle apps is it makes it easy to look up those forgotten words, but I’m going to start recording them like she talks about.
The situation is so much more desperate than you probably realize.
University professors are saying they're now unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. Their students are simply incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. This is civilizational.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history. We must continue to form new minds in this same model if we're going to keep it.
Islam is dead in Iran.
50,000 out of 75,000 mosques across the country have closed down due to a significant decline in attendance.
Meanwhile, there has been a boom in people attending and visiting Zoroastrian temples, the native religion of Iran!
