READING, WRITING

RUMI

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that the monarchies of Europe (along with their armies) were no match for the VOC (Dutch) and East India Trading Company (British), and the monarchies which didn't participate lost ground, and wars (e.g., Napoleon).  Marx and others quipped that European governments were becoming a capitalist trade union, because they nationalized their respective country's financial entities.

NOTE:  I'd like to know when there were first stock exchanges (I probably read it, but didn't retain the dates & circumstances).

〇

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He remembers the first few weeks in Office, when he realized there were "codes" in play for the SS to describe his every move - even to the bathroom.  He had no privacy when he left the WH, mostly because of the WH Press Corps, who followed him everywhere in a van.  Gibbs (Press Secretary) wouldn't allow the idea of BO & Michelle leaving WITHOUT the press corps.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says another researcher, Perkins, who brought subjects to the lab & asked them to think of reasons Pro & Con that would support their own POV, or NOT support their own POV.  They were HS Seniors, Undergrad Grads, and Graduate School Grads.... Perkins found that IQ was the best predictor of how well people argued.  And the higher the IQ, the longer the list of reasons pro their opinions.

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He recalls his final days as a prisoner in the camp; they tried to escape again, but the battle line had reached the camp, so they stayed put for a few days.  Eventually they were greeted with a white flag on the camp gates.  They were finally FREE!!!!!

Read for fun in THE COMFORT CRISIS by Michael Easter
