IF JOE BIDEN IS ELECTED... There is no doubt in my mind that Joe Biden is an empty suit who will serve as the vessel for the radical communists struggling to get him elected. However, when Joe is “out of pocket,” the nation will be ruled by the Joe Biden Presidential Decision-Maker. The Magic Biden Ball... presidential-decision-makerWe are so screwed. -- steve “The key to fighting the craziness of the progressives is to hold them responsible for their actions, not their intentions.” – OCS "The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." -- Marcus Aurelius “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves, and traitors are not victims... but accomplices” -- George Orwell “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”-- George Bernard Shaw

Daily Stoic... PASSAGE OF THE WEEK: "That’s what we Stoics do. We don’t just get a book and put it up on our shelf. We devour it. We take notes. We fold pages. We throw it in our backpacks and suitcases when we travel, it sits on the front seat of the car in case we have a few minutes. It moves with us from college to our first apartment to our first home and then, if it’s really good, perhaps, one day we’ll give it to our own children—or to a friend in need, as Rusticus did. Books are made to be broken in. They are quarries of gems to be mined, wells to be drawn from, sturdy posts to lean on, shoulders to cry on. Just as we never step in the same river twice, to paraphrase Marcus and Heraclitus, we never read a book the same way. That’s why we read and re-read, note and discuss, write and flag."

ToToday’s Stoic: You Should Know This by Now... The iron law of history is that people do dumb things. They behave this way for many reasons: Ignorance. Fear. Bad habits. Because they’ve been corrupted. Because they are ordinary people with flaws, just like that. Because they are in pain. There is nothing like a pandemic to put a spotlight on these people and these reasons. We see their pictures on the news. We read their nasty comments on social media. And it’s frustrating and it’s distressing. Because they aren’t just putting themselves at risk, but others. It’s easier to accept someone driving without a seatbelt (which affects them) and someone who speeds (which endangers others). But this is a reality of life. People will speed. They will speed, not wear a seatbelt, and be combative and mean. They will do this, cause an accident, and still blame everyone but themselves. That’s just how it is. What can we do? Well, one thing we shouldn’t do is say, “Screw it. If they’re gonna behave that way I will too.” The other is that we have to be calm and rational in response. The only thing that causes more distress than dumb people out there is being caught off-guard by dumb people. That’s why Marcus Aurelius prepared himself in the morning for the rude and the surly, the jealous and the arrogant and the dishonest. He knew there would be wrongdoers out there—some malicious, but most not—and he didn’t let himself get shaken when he experienced it. So all we can do is carry on. Not let it make us bitter. Not let it make us afraid. And do the best we can do to be good (and smart) despite all the stupidity.

Still kicking & giving a licking!

Today’s Stoic: We Must be Anti-Fragile... The world is a cruel and random place. Our plans are dashed. Our systems are broken. People we love die. We lose what we have built and what we have so carefully saved and invested. We try to be Stoic, we try to be strong, but sometimes we falter. Is this weakness? No, this is a good thing. As Hemingway writes in one of the most beautiful passages in A Farewell to Arms, the world eventually breaks all of us. “Afterward,” he says, “many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills.” Let’s be clear about what Stoicism is. In simple terms, it is a philosophy designed to make you stronger, so that you don’t break easily. It is not, however, a philosophy to make you unbreakable—at least not in the most easily understandable sense of that word—because only the proud and the stupid think that is even possible. Instead, Stoicism is there to help you recover when the world breaks you and, in the recovery, to make you stronger at a much, much deeper level as a result. So much of what happens is out of our control: Pandemics. The markets. Supply chains. World leaders. What our neighbors do. We are drafted to fight in wars, to bear huge tax or familial burdens. We are forced to admit defeat about the thing we wanted to win so badly. This hurts. There’s no denying that. A Stoic heals by focusing on what they can control: Their response. The repairing. The learning of the lessons. Preparing for the future. It is in this that we become, as Nassim Taleb has said in his wonderful book by the same name, antifragile. We become better because of what we went through, better than if we had resisted and never been broken in the first place. In this, we have true strength. Because those that cannot break, cannot learn and cannot be improved by what happened.

FOR ALL OF THE UNDECIDED VOTERS AND THOSE DEMOCRATS WHO STILL IDENTIFY AS AMERICANS This may be the week in which Joe Biden will announce his choice for Vice President… There is no doubt in my mind that Joe Biden is mentally and physically unfit to serve as the President of the United States and that his choice of Vice President will be tantamount to electing an unelected individual who will legally assume the Presidency in the near future and then select another unelected individual as the Vice President. Forever changing the character of the Office of the President and placing the United States in grave peril. For all of the undecided voters and those Democrats who still identify as America-loving Americans… biden-flag Bottom line… Should Joe Biden be nominated to serve as the President of the United States, our country may never recover from the damage done to our Constitution, our military, our economy, and our personal freedoms. Consider the tyranny we are witnessing during this pandemic when governors and mayors continue to violate our rights based on nothing more than their desire for power. We are so screwed. VOTE-2020 Forget the GOP, there will be an unrecognizable country by 2024. Massive unemployment. Unions controlling the remaining jobs. Bigger government, higher taxes, and fewer freedoms. -- steve “The key to fighting the craziness of the progressives is to hold them responsible for their actions, not their intentions.” – OCS "The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." -- Marcus Aurelius “A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves, and traitors are not victims... but accomplices” -- George Orwell “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”-- George Bernard Shaw
