"Opinion" is the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.

Brave leaders... Who's next?

JFK's "Soft American" article was published in 1960 in Sports Illustrated. Time will tell if RFK can help bend America's health towards higher ground. youtube.com/shorts/T0vBWiu…

32 million tweets over 6 years. Research findings: Misinformation and radical-right populism are inextricably linked and is rooted in the breakdown of trust in press and politics. #ragingmoderate journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

#NFLSocialism? The NFL puts "Fairness" above "Freedom" in areas of their governance, to keep the league competitive, vibrant, and healthy long-term. Otherwise, it devolves into money & power eating the weak. Welcome any civil, rigorous thoughts. olyup.blogspot.com/2024/11/NFLsoc…

Colorado awards $11.2 to #Pretred which is the largest solid waste recycling grant in U.S. history given to a single, private company. Please advise if incorrect. cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/…

$11.2 million = Largest State Recycling award to a single company in U.S. history. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Build a better way... #CEDC #CDPHE #CircularCommunities #Colorado #Pretredinc

Big companies whine for deregulation... and in the next breath they whine for unified federal standards vs. a patchwork of State regs. Capitalism is like professional sports, it needs standardized rules to let the athletes compete.

NFL uses capitalism + socialism to build winning outcomes.

Media troll merchants sell emotional junk food in an attention economy. Emotional intensity (empty calories) gets consumed over insight and wisdom (nutrient density). Opinionator pundits are the only fan equivalent of oratory porn. #Caveatemptor

Amendments to the U.S. Constitution: 20th vs. 21st century

Americans despise cronyism. Here's a picture of it. Envision the economic unlock of a "Free & Fair" tax system. AI your own deep dive into a flat-tax with no-loopholes. Flat-tax (more liberty), no-loopholes (greater responsibility). Beyond that = special interest.

No worries...
