    Having just finished Dan Carlin’s podcast called “Supernova in the East”, I am just shocked by the human cruelty our history is littered with.

    War is hell and there is no doubt about that; but the things done to innocent civilians and children, down to infant ages, is unforgivable.

      Once you start down that path much of humanity is unforgivable. But don’t forget there are people who make cool stuff and save lives too.

        For sure, agreed - and we live in a historical time with a stunningly (maybe overwhelmingly) broad potential to pull off both. So much to be done and yet to begin; long live the cool people doing cool and important things in cool and cool impactful ways!

        praxis, forever!
