Why are you telling me this? I don't know how to evaluate this information. Is it reasonable to think that your desires are satisfied and you are recognised? From the soil we come, of the soil we live, to the soil we will return.
how do we show that a change can be made with little to no disturbance to you/your life/society? What are the thresholds for convincing people?
Horace Mann, quoting a piece of advice he admired: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”

President Trump's nominee to head NASA, Jared Isaacman, really really really really really did not want to admit that Elon Musk was in his meeting with Trump, when Isaacman was offered the NASA post. This ranks up there as some of the worst testimony that I have ever seen on Capitol Hill.
