The larger waves are being sent where the social systems are the most generous. The Scandinavian countries have been greatly impacted—crime rates have skyrocketed and welfare programs have nearly maxed

I can remember rushing through my homework too so I could do other things. I don't know about you but I was often bored to death by my schoolwork. I think it was a combination of it not being challenging

Good point! Less (but better quality) can be more in more ways than one.

Thank you @lydon.sipe! It's so good to hear from you and I hope you and the family are doing well.

I've learned to try to embrace it in the last few years but it doesn't come naturally and I don't expect it from others, just myself. When I do slow down and take more care tasks almost become meditative

It was the same way with our generation here in the US. Most of the world's citizens, especially Gen X and older, were conditioned from a very young age to follow orders and to be worker-bees because the

I'm so sorry, Rebecca. This isn't good news for the Romanian people. However, I like what you say about creating and existing in your own reality. Do you have waves of immigrants coming into the country

In many cases, yes. More focus in our work = less rework and mistakes. Each of us have to find the our own balance in terms of quality vs. quantity. Obsessing over getting each thing absolutely perfect

Oh, I had forgotten that your other son was still there. There's so much to that ancestral-memory theory! I felt in in England too—such a strange familiarity. No problem at all, reach out at any time if

One hundred percent. I still enjoy it too, the day I stop feeling that enjoyment will be the day I bow out. Shake Shack here in the States is taking BTC now. There's no way I'd spend BTC to buy a burger

Yeah, it's crazy. The identity/personal data-theft aspect of these hacks are far more concerning than just losing coins.

That would be a challenging decision to make. Have you considered moving to The Netherlands to be closer to your son? They have excellent medical/social services there. I'd probably be moving somewhere

I'm so glad to hear SA isn't as bad as the news portrays it to be! It sounds like your neighborhood is doing all the right things. I'm sure the right place will appear when the time is right. It always

I remain optimistic! The signal-to-noise ration is so high now in the self-published book market that an author almost has to go viral to sell as many copies as they could a decade ago. If nothing else

For sure, it reminds me of the Matrix scene where thousands of Mr. Smiths are attacking Neo. Hive is ever-evolving, the content creator demographics shift as token prices fluctuate. I'm noticing way less

Oh, you've decided to sell! I worry about you all there. The news here in America is painting a very concerning picture about how unsafe it's getting in South Africa for people of European descent. I don't

There's seems to be a steep cultural learning-curve there. How long did it take for you to get fully acclimated? We have a friend whose taught in Tokyo for almost thirty years and he says there are still

As someone whose had a few direct experiences I know they're real and they've been here with humanity for a long time. I think they may be directly influencing our evolution as well. I believe you're right,

Cathedral Hill's homes are, mostly, intact now. There were lots of abandoned mansions there between the 1960's and mid-1970's though. If things continue to go as they are now though we'll probably see

Thank you! I really appreciate it!
