READING, WRITING

RUMI

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that as Capitalism rose - initially UNRESTRAINED - it replaced the "HELL" that was wrought by greedy kings of the Middle Ages.  Harari is gearing up to explain why CAPITALISM cannot be justifiably unrestrained.  He says that as CAPITALISM grew in the early Modern Era, so grew the Atlantic slave trade.

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls the adjustments he and his family were "required" to make as the new First Family; the help, in general, were all minorities; the 2 head butlers were black and tried to treat BO & family like any other FF; however, as time went on, they traded their tuxes for plainer clothes, and became more like family members.

Read for 80 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says studies show that you can almost always find a study that supports what you believe.  "Must" is not the same as "Can."  Science is always subject to questions, but if you don't WANT to believe something, you can usually google your view and find a supportive study.

NOTE:  what's the answer, then?

Read for 80 seconds in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING by Viktor Frankl.  He remembers that the inmates of the concentration camps were deprived of almost every freedom they had previously known.  Frankl asks if it's possible that ALL freedoms can be taken from any human being, and he answers his question "NO" since even in those dire conditions, inmates exhibited freely the will to comfort others.
