2/2 Debt ceiling is a made up crisis in which one party is holding a grenade in a moving car and threatening to let it explode to get unrelated demands. Giving in to those demands is to value expedience over virtue (the same error as those holding the grenade).
Virtue amounts to doing the right thing, not the expedient thing. Stoic virtue is predicated on understanding that what you control is the only good - that death, material wealth, and reputation are preferred, but indifferent to virtue. Now let's apply to the debt ceiling. 1/2
As any psychotherapist worth a shit will tell you, the goal isn’t to quickly return to a state of equanimity. It’s to confront what’s problematic and look it directly in the eyes. This can be time intensive and often painful. Only then can healing begin. A country is no different
Impeach or 25th Trump tonight. Do the right thing, now, even if it fails. Don't let enabling his destruction become your legacy. For the rest of us, remember who leads in this moment, and who cowers.
And then Trump supporters stormed the Capital and the Republican Party STILL did nothing... #25thAmendment
The US Capital apparently has less security than confederate statues of traitors to this nation. Let that sink in. Those are the priorities of Republicans as they lose power.
"People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead." - James Baldwin
Claims of voter fraud have historically been used to commit voter suppression. The USA has a shameful history of voter suppression, particularly towards black citizens. There is no evidence that voter fraud is an issue. A telling example: news.yahoo.com/how-a-criminal…
"You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me." i.e., vote
“Now all that was owed is repaid, And all that was owned, returned, Now all that was lost is found,...” tmblr.co/ZD2jSt2UQsE0f
"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise , trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."
"You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is past time for Americans to acknowledge the disgraceful treatment of our black war veterans. newyorker.com/news/news-desk… #TakeAKnee
I pity modern day Nazis/racists; manipulated and sold an ideology and identity that will never bring them joy or anything good.
I will fight for the human rights of all while I have breath. The divisions and hatred of others hold no power over me.
It's going to be okay, it's just not going to be how you thought it would be.

All he had to do is basic things like purge military leadership and staffing it with diehard loyalists (over the course of years), and bomb a building and blaming it on antifa/BLM, and he might have been able to suspend the election. Instead he just sent deranged tweets. Lucky.

Damn girl, are you the ontological argument? Because I find you extremely uncompelling, but it's hard to explain exactly why.
@FrugalStoic thank you for recommending the podcast. I'm working hard at keeping things short, understandable, and useful.
@FrugalStoic I might just steal that joke for the podcast!
When someone says philosophy is "useless", they mean that they want everyone to accept the dominant cultural views of the time uncritically.
