The Quarter Millenial creates a unique opportunity to reclaim our national self-understanding.
This is of vital importance and I urge @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance, and others to take this seriously.
The public mythos of America, our civil religious expression, as practiced in schools and in mainstream culture, has degraded into a story of regret and bitter self-effacement. We have become a nation of flagellants, but without the possibility of redemption. A perfect inversion of the City on a Hill. Our heroes have become villains; our triumphs, tragedies.
The protagonists in this current version of our story are the litany of the oppressed, and all told it amounts to little more than a blood libel against the great men, if humanly imperfect, who founded and made America.
There is great power and meaning in civic celebrations like the Quarter Millenial. This milestone is an opportunity to reset our national narrative and self-understanding, to reassert the prominence of certain heroes and episodes that have been maligned or neglected in recent decades.
Imagine art grants from the NEA for new monuments, perhaps 250 of them around the country, to celebrate and memorialize our history, as told by us. The great men and women who built and sacrificed and struggled and triumphed, not merely for nostalgia's sake, but as guiding symbols for a new generation of Americans dedicated to revitalizing our nation.
Imagine a revival of the Library of America via the NEH to publish a catalog of books, perhaps 250 volumes, curated by people who cherish rather than hold contempt for our legacy and traditions, works of great literature to tell the complete story of the American experience and reintroduce so much of the great writing that has been buried under the weight of petty political sensitivities.
Imagine art prizes, film festivals, theater, music, a true revival of the American spirit through creative undertakings, its optimism and courage. A celebration of the high and the good. A celebration of the strong and the aspirational. A celebration of the healthy and the capable.
I know there is a temptation to cut administrative spending wherever we can, and I assume public arts is an easy target for @elonmusk and others. But I want to encourage these decision makers to consider the possibilities here.
This will all be relatively cheap, but the impact will be profound and enduring. Opportunities like this do not come around often. People are begging for a reset. The mandate to Make America Great Again is ultimately a question of narrative. It is asking us to reach back into the past and reconstitute how we perceive ourselves. We do this by authoring our own story.
There are many great patriots who can be called to this task. We are standing back and standing by. 🫡

@susanleehere @heydave7 Yes, I’ve used the first model for 100+ nights. I haven’t given myself any cognitive tests, and can’t definitively rule out the placebo effect, but -
I feel well rested after 7hrs of sleep with Dreem vs 8hrs w/out

Early morning shade -> higher altitude sun = condensation conditions
Tesla has a laser cleaning patent that would address this

@enn_nafnlaus @sw1002 @damphouse @thirdrowtesla Waiting for a dip, and averaging into a position, aren’t good long-term strategies.
Better to invest all at once, when you have the cash.
Dollar Cost Averaging delays risk, making you feel safer.. but will likely raise your cost basis.

@GerberKawasaki Trading on emotion is rarely profitable.
A portfolio manager has a tough job - managing clients’ money aNd emotions.
We agree that most investors can maximize their returns with patience.

I actually had 3500 of Tesla I bought at $30 too, 7 years ago. Today same thing I have 200 left. Sold much along the way. Ive traded it and added a bunch last year but if didnt take profits, what would that be worth... $TSLA

Not that it really matters, but given the really poor state of knowledge out in the market this is really just blind buying on emotion
If it was already after reporting of Q4 deliveries it might be understandable, but at present it has the taste of “the madness of crowds” . . .

Why do I think many climate-related researchers are owned by the fossil fuel industry? Let me offer a few personal anecdotes, starting with many discussions I've had regarding fossil fuel divestment.
