Daily Inspiration — Just Do It We don't live in a meritocracy where the best people get hired and the best ideas get funded. If you have become discouraged applying for jobs or grants or sending out your resume or your book proposal, remember that you are in the best of company. Our most talented and creative people fill the ranks of the unemployed.

Daily Inspiration — Why are we pessimistic? Is it based in reality? Many of usperhaps most well-educated Westernersare aware of a pall that hangs over our thoughts and moods. Maybe it is not diagnosed as depression because of its ubiquity, but part of us is sometimes aware a sense that we were not meant to live this way.

Daily Inspiration — A way to organize human activity that is beyond our imagination To this day, we cannot see that there are alternatives to a money system for organizing our productive activity because we have no categories or foundational concepts with which to get purchase upon it, so to speak. We understand capitalism and private ownership all too well. We understand socialism as collective ownership and a redistribution of wealth. But we cannot conceive a society without ownership, without accounting fo

Daily Inspiration — What single change in governance structure would produce most benefit? Public control over the Fed would end profiteering on war, healthcare, education, and most other markets, would quickly eliminate the nation debt (since we would no longer be paying principal and interest on private bank notes created from thin air and passed off as our "legal tender"), and the embedded 30 to 40% interest in the cost of goods and services, which eats away at our productive capacity, would also disappear.

Daily Inspiration — We hold these truths to be self-evident The essence of modern Western political economy is that humans are inherently selfish and that a system of rewards and punishments forcibly imposed by a strong government is all that stands between us and destroying one another for profit. In making this postulate explicit, we can begin to examine and question it, perhaps for the first time. Compare it to the Confucian and Daoist philosophies that have been the basis of Chin

Daily Inspiration — Negative Mass, a New Theory Jamie Farnes, an Oxford University physicist, thinks that some of the mass in the universe is negative. It has negative gravitational mass and negative inertial mass. So Farnes-stuff has a repulsive gravitational effect on ordinary matter, but it attracts other Farnes-stuff. In the Farnes universe, negative mass is being continually created, popping out of the vacuum.

A video on vaccine politics and vaccine safety Del Bigtree is a captivating speaker, and he also has some powerful content to report, things that I didn't know. Vaccines are not subject to the same safety testing as drugs Pharmaceutical companies make all the profits on vaccines, but they assume none of the liabilities if their products are unsafe. The Dept of Health and Human Services (HHS) is sole defendant in any legal claim that a vaccine has caused side effects.

Daily Inspiration — Schubert Schubert was a melody machine. Schubert was a tortured human. Schubert as a teenager wrote fresh, engaging music that you can listen to 100 times without getting tired of it. Schubert produced more music in his 31 years than Papa Haydn in his 77 years. So much of Schuber's music is joyous, remarkable when we consider the pain he was in and the death sentence that hung over his young life.

FBI is (still) Infiltrating Peace and Civil Rights Groups Several articles are referenced, documenting the FBI's illegal role in slanting the American political playing field. Infiltration, spying, and agents-provocateurs are used against workers groups, environmental and peace activists. "Information warfare" has become ubiquitous and devastatingly sophisticated.

Daily Inspiration — On Waiting The words "bored", "boring" and "boredom" appear nowhere in all of Plato. 2000 years later, Shakespeare uses "boring" only to mean "drilling a hole in the earth". It would seem that boredom is a modern affliction. To "be a bore" meaning "to be tiresome or dull" first occurs in print in 1768, and at that time it is not about an absence of stimulus, but rather a grating, persistent irritation.

Daily Inspiration — On Prayer You ask me how to pray to someone who is not. All I know is that prayer constructs a velvet bridge And walking it we are aloft, as on a springboard, Above landscapes the color of ripe gold Transformed by a magic stopping of the sun. That bridge leads to the shore of Reversal Where everything is just the opposite and the word 'is' Unveils a meaning we hardly envisioned.

Daily Inspiration — Deep Thinker from a Culture We Find Strange You and I believe in Science because we were born into a 20th Century Western culture. John Donne, born this day in 1572, believed in Christianity, for just the same reason. Starting from our own framework of thought, we seek to expand the reach of logic and make sense of our world. Donne was doing the same thing, with his wide-ranging and fecund mind. Perhaps Donne can help us perceive the limits of our own culture.
