44. I love history. I love mysteries. I love taking things...

Apart to see how they work, I even enjoy deconstructing things that no longer work for parts for artistic creations.

The unexamined life, according to Socrates, is not worth living. I believe that...

But a huge part of me deeply mourns the loss of the time that is spent living in the past while our future is in peril.

Time is the one finite resource that has the most value in every life.

Wouldn't that time be better spent working on ways to get us out of our current predicament?

What suggestions are explored in this?

Where is our plan?

Thank you for the discussion, Botany.
