Particularly appreciate the quote from Shelley.

An interesting follow-up to your Shelley quote, on the topic of non-violent revolution:

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world

"Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change."

Gandhi won India... Not that I am a nationalist but it is a step in the right direction at the moment. Merry Christmas/solstice festivity etc.

Thank you for all your excellent articles, I look forward to seeing your name pop up in my inbox. I also listen to a number of your podcasts and interviews which, I must say, perfectly reflect the humanity shown in your stacks. You are one of the best unwrapped Xmas presents this year! God Bless you and your family- they’re lucky to have you.

Only getting to this today. I really like scripture as a roadmap for understanding where we’ve come and where we are going - for me it gives the framework through which seemingly unrelated datapoints connect. When a pattern takes shape out of chaos I believe one’s spiritual understanding and faith strengthen. I wish you and your family all the best for 2024 and May this collective and others like it continue to seek truth and freedom

Alex Krainer's avatar

Amen. Thank you Kristi and best wishes to you as well.
