"...when political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become even more important..."

Here is a new presentation of the 20 lessons, read by actor #JohnLithgow.

„TO THE STATES.

To the States or any one of them,
or any city of the States,
Resist much, obey little,
Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved,
Once fully enslaved, no nations, state, city of this earth,
ever afterward resumes its liberty.”

Walt Whitman

"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”

as long as (#AI?) / LLMs can not say:
“I don't know!”,
they are actually not really ready
to be released in the open ...

I’m actually quite patient - I think - but this summer, much is testing me - and I just had enough of it - waiting for people all the time (including my kids) can be so so annoying….
