The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

The man behind the digital ID push is Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, soon, TikTok. He wants data centralization and total surveillance. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching & recording everything that's going on." Terrifying.
And after the government combines your personal, banking, and voting data under a single digital ID, it will add social media and vaccine information. Same with Real ID in the US. The Censorship Industrial Complex was dress rehearsal for digital ID.

Cynicism is not a mark of intelligence. It's a defense mechanism to avoid being exploited. 192k adults, 30 countries: People with poor reasoning skills are more likely to see human nature as selfish and untrustworthy. A sign of wisdom is refusing to expect the worst in others.

It’s not when it’s easy, but when it’s hard, that your actions truly count. It’s how you show up when sleep deprived, stressed and not knowing the answer. That’s the mark of both great leadership, and being a great human being.

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Data: Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

"Necessity is the mother of invention" Being a little uncomfortable is good. It makes you think outside the box, it makes you think about options you wouldn't normally consider. This is the way it is in every aspect of life, even art. Artist's don't create something because it has been done before. They create something they feel the world needs or that they just have to get out of their head. Same with technologists. Same with everything.

Better to lose a deal, than your value.

Strange maybe, but I own one of these @KanpaiPandas ! The world of NFTs and their real world applications is super interesting.

This is a really interesting take. I have never done any testing of the actual frequency but it makes sense to me from an energy state, overall mood, levels of motivation and both self and world view perspective.
Replying to @TheIntegralPath
3/ Your prevailing emotional state determines your level of consciousness. Each state corresponds to an energy level (or frequency). Raising your level of consciousness means raising your frequency. If you're skeptical, consider this explanation:

This is really important research and supports that fact discipline over time improves attention span (as it does most things).
Your attention span isn’t fixed. It increases with practice. Evidence: After 20min sessions solving cognitively challenging problems (10-20hrs total), students show significant gains in sustained focus and test scores. Like physical stamina, mental stamina requires exercise.

New Taliban rule: Women are no longer allowed to be visible from house windows under any circumstance. If the kitchen has a window, women can't even cook near it. This comes after other rulings that women are forbidden from making sounds or even speaking to each other.
