Abundance is both the goal and the enemy. Scarcity is both the enemy and the goal. The solutions to problems give rise to new problems. The problems are soluble.

Truth comes from markets, nature, solitude, true peers. Someone else’s truth from these sources might count but better to find out yourself. People often lie and swear it’s truth because they wish it were true. Or they can’t live with the real truth.

Voluntary hunger (fasting), soreness of all muscles (from straining), walking by choice when you could ride, and creating (vs consuming) new things out of joy vs necessity when you have all you need: hallmarks of the good life in a world of surfeit abundance.

Holding hands with my oldest sons, one padded flesh identical to my long dead brother’s, one bony and thin like his mother, ghosts haunting living flesh.

HAL ‘s passive aggressive voice from 2001: a space odyssey is the way woke people talk before they try to ruin your life.
