Give dearly, I'm trying to get out of the country. You know the spiel:
First they came for the ___, since I wasn't a ___, I didn't speak out.
Then they came for the left-handed artists, and there was no one left to speak for me.

Economic Troubles:
- Inequality and Overspending: When wealth concentrates in the hands of a few, the majority of the population can suffer. This economic disparity can breed resentment and social unrest. The decline of the Roman Republic is partly attributed to the widening gap between rich and poor.
- Unsustainable Practices: Empires that prioritize short-term gain over long-term sustainability can sow the seeds of their own destruction. Deforestation, soil depletion, and poor water management can all contribute to economic decline.
Internal Decay:
- Corruption and Ineffective Leadership: Leaders who prioritize self-interest over the well-being of their citizens can erode public trust and weaken the fabric of society. The later Roman emperors are often cited as examples of corrupt leadership that contributed to the empire's downfall.
- Social Cohesion: A strong sense of shared identity and purpose is essential for a society to thrive. If social divisions deepen and trust breaks down, a society can become vulnerable to internal conflict.

...inherited wealth differs by perhaps ten orders of magnitude from the poorest individuals to the wealthiest elites.
A facilitator of this inequality was the rise of state civilizations 5000 years ago and their subsequent cycles of integration and dissolution. In prehistory, the likely prerequisites for the origins of state societies include intensified agriculture, which not only supported larger populations of increasingly diverse specializations, but also the unequal access to resources that gave rise to inherited wealth inequalities and status hierarchies.

Globally, the richest 1% own almost half of the world's wealth, while the bottom half possess around 0.75%. Climate change today is unprecedented and an order of magnitude faster than the warming which caused the worst mass-extinction event in the planet's history. Six of the nine key Earth systems that the world relies on have been pushed into a high-risk zone. While conflict between economic elites has helped drive polarisation and distrust within many countries.

It is my contention that the USA no longer exists, since the current government either ignores the Constitution and law & order, or that part of it that wants to maintain the old system doesn't have the backbone or stones to fight for it.

The Secret Debt Cycle Driving America's MASSIVE Inequality
I searched The DK Effect on positions of power, Verywellmind.com
The basic idea behind the Dunning-Kruger effect is this: if you don't know something, you also don't have the ability to recognize that you don't know it.
People who scored in the lowest percentiles on grammar, humor, and logic tests also tended to dramatically overestimate how well they had performed (their actual test scores placed them in the 12th percentile, but they estimated that their performance placed them in the 62nd percentile).
People who aren't good at something have a hard time recognizing other people's skill and competence levels. That's why they consistently view themselves as better, more capable, and more knowledgeable than others.
The very knowledge and skills necessary to be good at a task are the same qualities that a person needs to recognize that they are not good at that task. So if a person lacks those abilities, they remain not only bad at that task but ignorant of their inability.
A person might have the slimmest bit of awareness about a subject, yet thanks to the Dunning-Kruger effect, believe that they are an expert.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is not synonymous with low IQ. As awareness of the term has increased, its misapplication as a synonym for "stupid" has also grown. The fact is that it is something that affects all of us, no matter how smart we (think) we are. It is, after all, easy to judge others and believe that such things simply do not apply to us.
Top-scoring individuals know that they are better than the average, but they are not convinced of how superior their performance is to others. The problem, in this case, is not that experts don't know how well-informed they are; they tend to believe that everyone else is also knowledgeable.

This is focused on personal observation and opinion as I watch the changes that make life so different now compared to what it was like when I was growing up, and before.
As the American dream- every generation will do better than their parents- is no longer viable, why is it not? I'll explore that through my worldview, with the somewhat unconventional notion that the emphasis on material wealth made US weak, right at the time we will need strength, in great part due to the decline of material wealth.
I mentioned Mel Robbins, I listened to James Clear, Tom Bilyeu, others. Links tomorrow.
After getting a settlement for getting hit by a car- 8 fractures, 3 pins, L1, 2, 3 fused and bracketed- I was confused about what to do with my sudden wealth, and befuddled about how to proceed with my life.

trump's whole political career is based on a lie: the reality show The Apprentice.
Even "coming down the escalator" to announce his candidacy was all show, with hired performers holding signs and cheering. It's all fake, just for the attention and PR, to run for an appointment office he didn't even want.
Through their bumbling, slapstick firings, they're amusing the whole world with they're American style, ineffectual leadership.

The video showing the paint I pirated. Art & Qualm II
A kid says to a pirate, "Hey, Mister Pirate, why do you have a wooden leg?"
The pirate says, "OH, I was made to walk the plank, and a shark got me leg before I could get to land."
"Wow!" the kid says. "Hey, how did you get that hook for a hand?"
"Well," says the pirate, "We were boarding a Limey ship, and one of the sailors took my hand with his sword. Before he lost his life to my cutlass."
"Wow. Mr. Pirate, why do you have a patch on your eye?"
"Oh. That." says the pirate. "That was the first day with my new hook."
I guess I didn't really get to what had become a major point during this: the contradiction is, I'm still stressing as much while in the middle of the process I'm undertaking at the time, I don't stress (as much, anymore) while considering what I should be doing with my time, and why I'm not doing that (yet), or how to fix it (the not doing it yet), or how much exertion it will require, or what will it be like if I try and fail.

"Why we struggle with change"
An interesting video on change. Even if you don't appreciate the narration, the Art is noteworthy.
Another thing about Wynwood - there's music almost everywhere, and traffic noise. LOUD cars, real common in Miami, motorcycles, party buses... hard to find a good spot to be heard.
The first video I saw concerning this: Huberman Smeared.
I realize how slow I talk. I'd speed this up 1.25 or 1.5 if I could- I'll see about importing this into some audio editor, I have to look it up.
Just thought I'd address this as I what this sounds like to listen to, but strangely, and I record and mentally prod myself to speak faster, it sounds faster to me as I speak, than when I listen.
I sound stupid and/or drunk, and I'm neither.
Also, I knew this but forgot it- it can be speeded up on Buzzsprout, right at the bottom of the Episode frame, hover and a button 1x appears. For those that are as slow as me.
Thank you for reading.

Don't wanna harp on this too much, but we are experiencing some very hard times- psychologically. Making it that much harder to focus on doing what I should. Distractions, concerns... trying to avoid these. Trying to change for the better.

Another fall from grace, and the whole having to pick myself up and start over. Yet again.
I'm in the middle of moving my storage, and having problems with my old place, so I'm jammed for time, and just threw this together.
All of the things changing so rapidly now would be way too much to tackle in a podcast, but I go over some essentials, and how I've decided to deal with... whatever.
And therein lies the rub- we don't know what we'll have to deal with, but we're aware, hopefully, that drastic change is now the new normal.
There are a number of variables we as individuals and a species are seeing in the changes we will be facing, and those changes will accelerate in frequency and intensity. We have little control over those variables, but the thing we have the most control over is how we respond to change.

Trying to maintain a reasonable output of all I'm trying to do consistently- as you can see from the time between the last and this, I've yet to make podcasts a regular part of my life. But, as I get 3 hours a month, I could do nine 20 minute episodes, or one about every 3 days. So, that's what I'm trying for.
I've been doing more, all in all: I tested for the Technician level for amateur radio, and learned the phonetic alphabet, and am now learning Morse code, along with how to program the radio, and I finished a painting I had as an idea for years, and 2 others quickly after that- all in the span of a couple weeks. I'm getting ever better at working on the things that should be a major portion of my days, and I'm having more peace of mind more often, so the work I've been putting in towards those ends is paying off. Here's a link to Andrew Huberman, whose teachings are helping me greatly (I consistently pronounced his last name wrong, and it's the Stanford School of Medicine): https://www.youtube.com/c/AndrewHubermanLab

The Journey that was, mas o menos, the first year after getting life-flighted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. I'll call this the 5-part lead-in to what I'm most interested in talking about, the improvements I've made since the beginning of 2019, and the ones I'm striving to make because I just haven't made them in almost 3 years, and/or the growth I've experienced is allowing me to accomplish more. Not because I think I have bragging or complaining rights, but I know from the many who have helped me, we all suffer struggles and challenges, and I can share what I've done to improve the quality of my life, hoping someone can use it in their Journey.
I said Missouri, I meant Minnesota; after you elect me president 2024, and I've changed the W from three syllables to one syllable, my very next act will be to change the names of some of the M states so it's not so confusing. Thank you for your support!
Episode 4: The first 3 are basically about my getting hit by a car in Key West, being life-flighted to Miami, and dealing with the physical recovery while trying mightily to gain the mindset needed to start living my dreams.
Here, I jump to right now in life, what I'm doing project/skill-wise, a little of what I'm doing Wellness-wise (I had hoped to cover more, especially some of the more important things I've learned but haven't sufficiently integrated into my life yet- stick with this, I'll get there) and a leadup to later videos about the most important aspects I need to develop to achieve my ultimate dream: personal philosphy and minset.
From here on, I'll be going back to around the middle 2019 to present, and the struggles I've had, but also and more importantly, what I'm doing presently, as I'm improving and expanding my current habits and behaviors and undertakings constantly. I consider these podcasts a positive feedback loop, as in order to present something meaningful, I have to live a meaningful life, and just knowing I've always got another coming up spurs me to do more of the things I find meaningful.
I'm moving along with my experience of going from the street to a shop filled with projects, some finished, most not. What I'm doing to consistently get more done, scattered in with a bunch of other distracting stuff. This, alas, is the problem- losing focus and drifting. Definitely a good starting place for next podcast.
An ongoing saga of what I'm doing, trying to do, or considering doing to improve the quality of my life, especially the aspect of thinking about what I want to do, then actually DOING it. Get closer to breaking through the resistance consistently all the time.
My first Podcast in a long and illustrious series of podcasts; I cover where I'm at, the accident, my struggle to overcome adversity and resistance, and how I'm growing. As I listened and it sounded OK, I believe I'll continue with this- just an AIFF file from iMovie using the Mac mike. Keeping it as low-tech, inexpensive, and Earth friendly a possible.
