Hello,
In this week's edition, I look at how not to forsake the good you can do. Tulsi Gabbard and I discuss her time in the armed forces, the Republican Party, and more. Also, I pull from the archives to look over why "The Human Heart Demands an Adventure" with Ben Shapiro.
** Do Not Forsake The Good You Can Do
------------------------------------------------------------
You have something to bring into the world that no one else can bring in.
If you fail in that duty, you deprive the world of that and maybe you should not do that. Everything becomes lesser if you do that. And you do not know how much less because the world is constituted in a very strange way. Dostoyevsky says, "Not only are we responsible for what we do, but for what everyone else does," which is truly an insane thing to say, but also, in some sense, fundamentally true. I do not know how it is that each of us can bear the burden of the world on our shoulders singularly. I cannot really comprehend how things can be structured in that manner. But I do believe, nonetheless, that it is the case. And if you foreswear your responsibility to the highest good, then you tear something out of the fabric of being that is of inestimable value.
I do believe you will pay for that, and I would suggest you do not pay that price because it will not be pleasant. That is definitely hell. And if you do not think hell is real, you have not thought about it enough. It is not a matter of other people believing in foolish things. It is a matter of you being so naïve and so well-protected that you have no idea how the world is constituted.
There are the temptations before you, such as chaos, nihilism, hopelessness, intellectual pretension, the desire for self-aggrandizement, and narrow power. Do not do that; it is not helpful. It will not do you any good, and it is beneath you.

** Monday Reflections
------------------------------------------------------------
"Drop what you are doing that is foolish, that you know is foolish, and pick an aim that is worthwhile. That will make things better for yourself as if you are worth taking care of, and surround yourself with people who believe the same." (Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])
"Our brain likes to hypothesize potential futures. It runs simulations and it kills them. And that can be painful but it beats the hell out of dying." ( ([link removed]) Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])
"Dreams often concentrate on things that provoke anxiety. If you wake people up when they are dreaming, the most commonly reported emotion is anxiety, and so the dream is like the first stage of the attempt to contend with the unknown." (Share this on Twitter) ([link removed])

Crony Capitalism and Female Soldiers | Tulsi Gabbard | EP 332
Tulsi Gabbard and I discuss her time in the armed forces, the concerns over women serving, crony capitalism, the Republican Party, and the proxy war the U.S. is waging against Russia.
Tulsi first served in elected office in the Hawaii State House of Representatives when she was 21-years-old. Due to the attacks on 9/11, she enlisted in the Army National Guard. In 2004, she gave up an easy re-election campaign and volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the 29th Brigade Combat Team where she served in a medical unit. After returning home in 2006, Tulsi worked in the U.S. Senate as a legislative aide to the late Senator Danny Akaka, who was Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. She then volunteered for a second Middle East deployment as a platoon leader.
