There are now 3 active hot conflicts in Eurasia involving different Nuclear armed powers. This is a scary and unstable time.

In the Middle-east theatre, no telling what will happen in East Asia.

Those institutions are chalk full of secret & sacred knowledge. Good luck becoming POTUS, a Tech Billionaire or Nobel Prize winner through freely available information on the internet.

> Eldership, acceptance into a hierarchy based on deeds and demonstrated virtue within a relatively small social grouping that does not recognize the value of money is, I believe, worthwhile. And the socially formal recognition, not easily won nor necessarily expected from anyone who has not been permitted to give it perhaps recognises that our society has values and that you are still expected to grow, even as an adult.

The point is we already have an extremely rigid hierarchy that encompasses our entire society (the mandarin system would be envious, it was just for officialdom!) and unfortunately unlike your ideal - it is not independent of money & does not expect growth.

We've had only 1 president and 1 supreme court justice in my lifetime who didn't attend the Ivy league. It's already de facto, why expand it or make it de jure? This sort of credentialism is what brought us the Bay of Pigs & the War in Iraq.

In the US we administer a test at age 16 that determines lifetime "qualifications" and access to "secret and sacred knowledge". How much further is there to even go on that front? Back to inherited nobility?

This doesn't mean you aren't over training.

If it's strength training... Without knowing the specifics what you are describing sounds like too much volume (and training for hypertrophy). Lower reps (3-5) & higher weight will have more of a strength stimulus and be less taxing.

If it's cardio... you probably should be at a lower intensity and going for longer.

This probably has more to do with the type of content you are consuming. If you watch things for young adults, it will probably follow "the Heroes Journey" - wether it is LOTR, Harry Potter, Star Wars etc. (the West) or Naruto, Pokemon, Dragon Ball/Journey to the West (the East)

Might want to elaborate while you're on the front page!

There are only like 4 actual accelerated learning programs out of the hundreds in NYC's "G&T".

The company was founded by an Oracle executive...

You are talking about the same speech. It was a great speech

And he wrote the plot for each character by tossing coins and looking up corresponding passages in the I-Ching

The Hugo award winning book it's based on is much better.

> FDR’s New Deal saved the entire planet from a descent into Nazism and Japanese imperial rule

The 'New Deal' saved the US from internal revolution; Huey Long. Nazism was doomed when Hitler invaded Russia, declaring war on America was just the nail in the coffin.

That was the department's name for 150 years.. until doublespeak became popular in the 1940's

No, because they don't enforce their rules against obfuscation.

Even if there was it wouldn't help you - extensions regularly get sold to scammers who can push whatever update they want. I documented an extension with a few hundred thousand install base, that got sold and turned into malware. Overnight went from tens of lines of code un obfuscated to 10k+ lines obfuscated. Then they flooded the extensions review pages with fake reviews to burry complaints. I got a ticket open thru a contact which to Google's credit they investigated but they decided it wasn't violating enough policies to take any action.
