What I am left with is "What are you called to do?" I have this question now posted at my desk. "What are you called to do?" Thank you for that guidance.

"What are you called to do?" reminds me of my husband, Dave Austin's motto he learned from his father, a Navy Chaplain who hit the beaches in the first boats during the bloody battle of Iwo Jima in WWII...he said when asked why he did that when he could have stayed back with the high-ranking officers until the enemy fire was contained, "that's where I was needed most...I love God and my marines"...end of story! We live our lives going "where we are needed most" xxoo

I like your insight that mother earth now has a grandchild and that we have three intelligences, that being nature, biological (us) and non-biological (AI) and how these three interact will affect our grand children...

I agree so much with what biases we are fed and have tried like you Van, to create worlds and profiles that will give me the "other" sides viewpoints so I can make my own opinions with all sides of an issue and put that into my writings and books...but damn, it's hard to consume some of that propaganda!! lol

Yeah man, Obama was missing an action king and then he came on TV for the first time in a long time and said don’t expect a hero and it sounded like to everybody else. I’mma tell you how it sounded. It sounded like you was saying don’t expect me to put my neck on the line for y’all. I’m good that’s what it sounded like.

Very informative and insightful. How much is he golfing and leaving Project 2025 alum to set direction? Secondly, what impact do you think his continuing to run rallies instead of talking from the Rose Garden kind of thing helped to cement him in MAGA popular culture ?
