Art of the Day: Geometric ancient art found on walls, temples, and pottery from centuries ago across civilizations, societies, and geographies around the globe. Recently highlighted by the likes of Graham Hancock and other explorers of ancient civilizations, this unique geometric art depicted here in Greek pottery, represents a kind of collective unconscious across ancient societies. It stood out to me for a different reason: a tattoo artist from Tahiti (where the word tattoo originated) designed an engagement ring tattoo for me a decade+ ago mimicking the same identical design, though I neither requested nor he suggested it. Something deep in the human consciousness calls to this simple symbol of truth in life.

Wisdom of the Day: “The power in the judicial will enable them to mould the government into almost any shape they please.” Brutus, Anti-Federalist, 1788.

Laura Loomer interview with Zelenskyy

The latest op is transparently obvious.

The administration is realizing that it has lost many of those who considered themselves to be true“MAGA”. New MAGA has adopted foreign policy that runs contrary to OG MAGA, and OG MAGA have now defined themselves as “America First”.

The strategy now is to bastardize and appropriate the concept / brand of “America First” by arguing that it is “America First” to support the war in Ukraine - whereas OG MAGA (now “America First”) was originally against endless American support, and about ending that conflict.

And the next stage of this op is going to be running it, mutatis mutandis, with support of Israel. The argument will be made that it is “America First” to support Israel.

It will be argued that it is truly “America First” to support the war in Iran.

Any war going forward.

Any policy going forward that had hitherto been rejected by / contrary to America First.

It’s not a new political strategy.

The question now is how the ...

Consilience

This is a particularly interesting passage from the book.

Not that I take it personally, but I am the youngest of five and it certainly does accurately reflect the dynamic of our family. Though it’s purely anecdotal.

A. Art of the Day

A warm cup of coffee, a firm-backed chair, a well-worn wooden table, a soft light overheard, a farmed window overlooking the rainy streets as folks hustle about in the early morning hours softly lit by the gaslight streetlights, as they hustle about their day and you sink into a good book or deep thought, the warm cop waiting.

A. Art of the Day

The soft brush strokes, the feel of early morning before the city wakes or the sun fully rises, an early stop at the news booth, a brief glimpse of the headlines, in warm coat and soft felt hat, the trains sign beckoning ahead to begin the day’s journey.

B. Wisdom of the Day

A. Art of the Day

The mirrored background, the black-and-white flickering images, the flapper girl in the lovely dress, the curved bar, the cocktails waiting, the night beckoning, a past beguiling, a time and place to uncover and discover again, if only in memory’s vault and a photo’s ghosts.
