When I struggle to write these days I think about this line from The Book of Laughter and Forgetting — “The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting” by Milan Kundera. Right now simply documenting and saying what we can is the power we have.

Every powerful person in America is terrified of Elon Musk because they know he's a dangerous sociopath who's running the U.S. government without any oversight. Americans should assume that Jeff Bezos saw this ad as a direct threat to his business interests, as it would provoke vengeance from Musk.

Too many people are financially illiterate and will have no clue what the catastrophic long term repercussions of this is. Can't unring this bell. Can't put the crap back in the horse. Can't pull a Trump and a few days later claim to have won something and reverse course.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...
