There's no one to perform for. There is just work to be done and lessons to be learned, in all that is around us.

Why are people having fewer babies? Because fewer couples are forming

Why are fewer couples forming? Because love is now the minimum threshold for longterm relationships

The problem is that love is rare. It always has been

So we need to talk about love

We aren’t living in a culture of literacy anymore, we’re back in oral culture.

From that lens, everything makes sense: short attention spans, virality, popularity, who makes money, even populist politics all follow orality

Lets study the oral rules

Now that fewer people read, reading itself gets treated as a moral good. That’s not right.

Reading the wrong things can make you dumber than not reading at all. they miscalibrate you.

Books aren’t automatically good. Only some are. In some cases, you’re better off not reading at all and figuring life out solely through action and movement.

You don’t need to choose. You can take the path of Einstein, who used a 'tedious' job to fund the stability his genius required. Or you can follow the martyrs, Van Gogh, Dostoevsky, and Diogenes, and accept the price of not paying your rent.

Or, you can respect and recognize the art in responsibility. Garbage collectors stave off the chaos of the world, preschool teachers raise the next Einsteins, caregivers alleviates suffering. And your landlord is offering you the best price-value for shelter you have found. If you accept the terms.

@simonsarris That's wholesome! It brought me joy to know, thanks for sharing.

We still hope to visit it, someday. I hope Lu enjoys the apple.

@simonsarris I don't know why.

If you have any idea of similar book/author to recommend, I'd love to.

Life is full of misteries.

@simonsarris "...gradually and inevitably, to-day, to-morrow, or ‘the next day, there comes back the conviction that the monk was right after all, and that all depends on what is the philosophy of Light. Only what we might have discussed under 'the gas-lamp, we now must discuss in the dark."
