Indeed. But they’ve become so shielded by their privilege they can’t imagine a world where one day there won’t be an ambulance to take them to hospital or a nurse to assist with a life saving surgery.

This is this election’s “poor people don’t drive cars” and “if you want a house just get a better job”.

“Yak shaving” is a new term for me. I call it “Spelunking” - where you’re at least four levels deep into a problem, and so far removed from the original problem you have no idea if it is even solvable.

In “The Road to Serfdom” Hayek spends a lot of time on the importance of the Rule of Law. We are experiencing
a lot of pain re-learning these lessons: you can’t do business or conduct trade if anyone can just take the money and run with no recourse.

I remember the militaristic assemblies. I was too young and therefore lacked the wisdom to be distrustful of authority, but looking back now it was just so weird.

You could apply to join the Commonwealth but there are some stringent requirements: 1) It’s “colour” not “color”; 2) Cricket is preferred over baseball; 3) Tea: Under no circumstances must it be served in a paper or styrofoam cup.

Aiyaa. Been there; done that. I used mostly cooked angel hair spaghetti (was pressed for time) and the same thing happened to me. Next time I use rice noodle and no short cut!

I remember reading in Shirer about the German Resistance planning the country after the removal of Hitler. The first agenda item was as all they could agree on. Presumably they kept planning even as Berlin was encircled and the Allies decided the fate of Germany….

In today’s episode of “Pictures you can smell”… I can also detect hints of Misir Wat and an Alicia bubbling away.

This prompted me to look up what the opposite of Akrasia is: “enkrateia” - power over one’s passions or instincts.

Have you heard of the book “Building a Second Brain” by Tiago Forte? I speed read it so I’m unsure of their system’s ultimate utility but I have incorporated some of the tricks mentioned. In any case, it outlines a framework for organisation so you may not need to start from scratch.
