In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-yr-old son played tennis on the White House grounds w/o wearing socks. He got a blister and was dead from infection a week later.
This is unthinkable today—which is why I wrote this series. Cuz the systems that save us from this kind of fate are in urgent need of care.

For a yr, I've been working on a series for The New Atlantis about the vast systems that underlie our lives. Our ancestors built them up over decades to fend off hunger, thirst, darkness and disease. But too few of us know about them—and they're all at risk. The conclusion is now available online:
Why We Are Better Off Than a Century Ago
Our ancestors built grand public systems to conquer hunger, thirst, darkness, and squalor. That progress can be lost if we forget it.

Writing builds resilience by changing your brain, helping you face everyday challenges
Resilience is often presented as feats of bravery and endurance. But everyday practices like journaling, drafting a text or even writing a to-do list are manifestations of a capacity to adapt.

Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale, prattles on about how much he "loves the Declaration of Independence" and how everyone should memorize it. But he quotes from it selectively, skipping over the part about Indigenous peoples as "merciless Indian savages."

Got suspended yesterday on Twitter for “violent speech”, but I really think I’m getting woke-policed for content Twitter doesn’t like.
I appealed, but haven’t heard back yet.
Twitter keeps reminding me that if I remove the tweet, I can be fully reinstated immediately.
