Steinbeck, the single story of the world
We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil. And it occurs to me that evil must constantly respawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal. Vice has always a new fresh young face, while virtue is venerable as nothing else in the world is.

Some of the best marriage advice I've ever heard came from Joanne Woodward about being married to Paul Newman: "When somebody asks her why their marriage worked, she said, 'There's my ego, and there's his ego, and there's our ego. And when we're both in service of OUR ego, we can do anything.'"

It’s vaguely funny, in a twisted way, how Bluesky originally pretended “trust and safety” was about violent rhetoric. We were all supposed to believe this in 2020 about Twitter, Facebook, etc, etc

First, a rise in sensationalist rhetoric about how the other political side poses an imminent existential threat - "desperate times" Next, a rise in rhetoric about violence being justified to stop the existential thread - "desperate measures" Then, a rise in assassinations.

“The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.” ― Thomas Sowell

Forever circling back to this beautiful passage by Carl Jung.
God wants to be born in the flame of man's consciousness, leaping ever higher. And what if this has no roots in the earth? If it is not a house of stone where the fire of God can dwell, but a wretched straw hut that flares up and vanishes? Could God then be born? One must be able to suffer God. That is the supreme task for the carrier of ideas. He must be the advocate of the earth. God will take care of himself. My inner principle is: Deus et homo. God and man. God needs man in order to become conscious, just as he needs limitation in time and space. Let us therefore be for him limitation in time and space, an earthly tabernacle. — Carl G. Jung, Letters Vol. I
