“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground.”
― Letters of Thomas Jefferson
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”

Everything in moderation, including moderation

Of course there is Climate change. Question is if there was always climate change or this is completely new.
The rate of disaster is not happening. Al Gore predictions didn't pan out that we know.
2020 was a year that people flew less , drove less, etc.. the results are out, no big change in CO2. Strange.
Acid rain in Europe ( in the 80's)didn't happen.
Mad cow disease didn't happen to the extent that people predicted. Far from that.
I am totally pro saving nature, I am a cyclist I love to be in the mountains etc... The only hope for nature is technology, going back to the middle ages is stupid. Wind is a middle age technology.
“Do you remember the things you were worrying about a year ago? How did they work out? Didn't you waste a lot of fruitless energy on account of most of them? Didn't most of them turn out all right after all?”

A lot of people know things, facts but they never thought about what works, why some people succeed and others struggle . Some people can't figure out that if they are doing the same as everybody else they are easily replaced. They are not unique or special.

I am a great believer in not forcing things. Sometimes I lose too much time investing in things that I get no feedback, in people that give nothing back. I need to do like Jay Shetty the Buddhist MONK
Choose people who choose you. — Jay Shetty
The optimists and the pessimists: I have been studying them for the past twenty-five years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case. The optimists believe defeat is not their fault: Circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought about. Such people are unfazed by defeat. Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.

We literally landed a man on the moon 52 years ago. Now people are gobsmacked we are getting back to space. More like #lostdecades. Glad to get back to Progress. We have a lot of time to make up.
We spend the last 20 years inventing Facebook , Netflix & Instagram perhaps it's time to invent something useful again. We lost the last 2 or 3 decades doing nothing besides Healthcare. My prediction is that energy will be free soon and it's not Green energy that is very expensive, this is the place to put research money. Energy is life, without cheap energy we will be back to the middle age.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
“If someone gave me a choice of coming in to see a team with a great PowerPoint pitch, or a team with a prototype that’s working, I would pick the prototype team all day long.” — Guy Kawasaki
Just do it it's the best advice ever. Just do it and then hit the road with a prototype, you get better with real clients.
“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.”

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise. Tacitus
You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted.

If you ask the advice of enough people you are almost sure to end up by doing nothing.
If government power increases as a result of crises, then expect more crises, either exaggerated or artificial.
A $300 or a $30 watch both tell the same time!
