The Great Pretender: The Undercover Mission That Changed Our Understanding of Madness
Mutually Assured Destruction Only Works All Sides Are Rational
The power of self-preservation is a powerful one. Of course, the power of self-preservation does not work if one is suicidal or otherwise non-rational. Or when all sides involved do not fully understand the stakes. Then the destruction is mutual.
Maybe I am not understanding this trade war, but it seems like it’s going to be bad when it plays out, however it plays out. The US has been coasting on it’s power and wealth for many a recent year, and it seems it”s unfortunate that current leadership doesn’t understand what is at stake when it blows up world economic order. Things were broken before, but that doesn’t mean you should demolish the world in hope of rebuilding better.
Frigid Early April Hump Day 🐫
I bet the teats on the camel up in Vermont are pretty warm even if everything else in cold this morning. Nice thing though in April even on a cold day, the sun is quite warm due to the higher angle.
Started out the morning with cummin rather then cinnamon in pancakes 🥞 which gave them kind of rich, chilli kind of flavor. It’s find, actually worked out good with syrup and some added cinnamon and Splenda, kind of a warm flavor on such a cold morning. My hands are cold 🧤 as I type this out. Better get in the shower soon to warm them up.
Rode both ways yesterday, 🚲 but it was a cold trip back and forth. I finished the anti-smoking questionnaire for my $20 buck check from the NYS Health Research / Smoker Cessation program. I gave them my honest opinion on it. 🚭 Hid under the covers and my heated blanket to warm up yesterday as the heat is off. Once I shower, I’ll ride in this morning.
I got a project I’m working on at work, 💾 so I should have a busy morning in the office. It will help make the day go faster. Not that I’m not expecting another cold evening, so I’ll probably do dinner and bed again tonight pretty early once I get home. Get through this week and weekend, and shit weather we’re expecting. ☔
