You Need a Worthy Enemy

You Need a Worthy Enemy. 
You need a purpose.
Because we are mortal, we know we can die. But because we are part divine, we suspect we won’t. So we are attracted to safety and comfort – pushing off until tomorrow what should be done today.

Alexander, Aristotle and Homer

Alexander, Aristotle, and Homer
In 2023, shortly after Christmas, I stood alone. Facing the mystical Dutchman Rembrandt. Shannon and the girls were already in the next gallery hall for a fashion display, but I lingered. The beloved museum nestled in Central Park, the refuge of the capital city of the world – every political capital is rendered mute by power’s financial capital. Passing through a half-dozen lesser European art galleries, I entered Rembrandt’s throne room.

How Nature's Patterns Shape Our Lives

"We all have an internal generative model of the world that parametrizes what we believe about the external world. There has been quite the assault on truth, with a capital “T.” People are now free to come up with their truths." – Tomer Solomon
