Still don't know if I'm going to be publishing a piece on Kissinger's century as an obit or for his 100th bday, but boy howdy, either way that's going to be a piece that requires MANY THINKING WALKS to rein in all that could & should be said. 🙃
History is such a ruinous outing, friends. One gains so much wisdom from knowing how much buffoonery, chaos, & abject cruelty underpins the modern world... but then the catch is, you have to go on *living* with that wisdom. 2/5 stars. Rarely recommended.
That is a highly welcome and empowering reframe. Thank you for it.
😂 YOU ARE PUTTING ME AT RISK OF A VENTURE BROS REWATCH, GOOD SIR.
@MLClark You say it as though that’s a bad thing! 😆

As we stumble into the future, this is a good reminder that a lot of what gets decided, by those in power, is often not the considered, thoughtful, rational, leadership we impose on it.
And therefor can be changed.
