This is, of course, an incredibly dispiriting week for many, perhaps particularly in this sphere.
One can be heartbroken, depressed, scared even. But if you’re trying to leave the world a better place, and you’re worried about decline, and anger, and the radical, anti-civilizational forces that have failed so vociferously the past decade-plus — please, continue to do the work.
But it’s tough when repeatedly hearing/reading lies about his beliefs and work. I despise my leftist community at times but won’t let that feeling root. Sigh…. So much divisive rhetoric- still!
The behaviour has been abhorrent. Another mask-slip: a miniature Covid response. My wife spent a week decrying "what the heck is wrong with these people?" On the plus side… you’ve never lost your humanity under stress and strain.
(continually) I have to remember, it’s all a game, engineered to keep us in our echo chambers, divided and angry. We cannot fall for it. But still, stunning to see the disbelief for instance that there was a candle lit vigil being held, being discussed in a local forum and peoples revolting commentary whereas I suspect a week or so ago they hadn’t even heard of Charlie or the work he was doing. Peaceful weekend to you both. And great piece on TFW btw!

It’s what Charlie would have wanted.
Amen
