🤔 Excellent piece! It makes me very sad. We sail in treacherous waters; to one side lies Charybdis, to the other lies Scylla.

Thank you so much, Julius. Treacherous waters indeed--but liberty can still remain alive in the inner lives of those who want it.

My approach is to do my best to keep my immune system strong, take the appropriate vitamins, eat right, drink lots of water, exercise, meditate, do yoga, and try not to worry about the state of the world. The last one is the hardest. My TV is hardly ever on. I don't own a Smart phone. I try to engage in conversations that are productive while ignoring all the propagandized people. Sometimes I fall off the wagon. It's tough, and I don't always feel well (but, that's usually when I let the world get to me and fall off the wagon). I will persevere. And do my best to try and wake up those that are still asleep. What else is there to do?

Thank you for this enjoyable, insightful, and encouraging read.

Thanks, Josh. Your approach sounds wise. Persevering is so important--and there is much beauty and meaning in the world to enjoy. I believe that productive conversations are indeed good for one's health.
