READING, WRITING

RUMI

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says the British took opium to China, leading to 40M Chinese becoming addicts (that was 1/10 of their population at the time).  When the government "fought back" the "Opium War" took place, and the Brits, being militarily superior, won the war.  China agreed to allow the merchants to trade drugs.  Britain maintained control of Hong Kong until 1997.  Britain and France lent large sums of money to Egypt, leading to a similar outcome:  Egypt rebelled, and Britain controlled Egypt until after WWII.

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He remembers his Press Secretary (Gibbs) strongly advising he NOT go outside the compound on a date with Michelle, or anything like that; he also appreciated the WH Press pool leaving his 2 daughters alone for the duration of his presidency.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says when the subjects of the studies of the behavior of people involve every day things, there isn't much chance of throwing much light on moral issues.

NOTE:  I don't care much about this stuff, and I don't want to be a psychologist or sociologist or anything like doing these studies.

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He says the physical limitations imposed on the prisoners took their tolls - sometimes they took their lives.  But there were also mental tolls; most prisoners lost their sense of who they were; and the lucky ones (Capos, policemen, doctors, etc.) would often become more self-aware, in a comical way.

NOTE:  I'm looking forward to hearing what the lessons Frankl learned are, and how he sees that they might apply to free people.
