Season Greetings To one and all. It's a good time to tie up loose ends. Despite all the uncertainty I do feel we are fortunate to be alive now.
Looks like big money and big political power are papering over their differences and heading toward a shotgun wedding

Skills and jobs and keeping the means of production and distribution in the people's hands is where its at.
For the rest of humanity a real and proper marriage is still in the cards.
To be fair - here are some words from Nietzche:
"I have found strength where one does not look for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, without the least desire to rule—and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers, their fame, etc.) The powerful natures dominate, it is a necessity, they need not lift one finger. Even if, during their lifetime, they bury themselves in a garden house! "
Also -
'My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all space and to extend its force (its will to power) and to thrust back all that resists its extension. But it continually encounters similar efforts on the part of other bodies and ends by coming to an arrangement ("union") with those of them that are sufficiently related to it: thus they then conspire together for power. And the process goes on.["
Keeping the fire of the heart and mind burning.
Bonus - A song for all reasons and an also an ode to freedom.
