READING, WRITING

RUMI

Read for 80 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says we had the Agricultural Revolution, the advent of Capitalism, and then (circa 1700) the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.  He speculates that the energy and natural resources might run out some day, and we'll have more people without the resources to continue the IR.  BUT NO...... he says that we Sapiens look for new materials & new sources of energy which (might) allow us to continue indefinitely.  In 1700, no one had even heard of rubber or titanium.  Yet today they are pervasive.  The IR is giving way to a comprehensive TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION that has no limits.

Read for 80 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He remembers gearing up (or trying to) to get his Stimulus Package passed, and wanting to show bi-partisanship with the GOP, even though he didn't need their buy-in to get it passed.  But the GOP began to show signs of withdrawing from even discussing the plan.

NOTE:  this is a foreboding of today's massive gulf between the Dems and the GOP.
