Finished my weekly writing word count, celebrated with coconut cream pie by the amazing Chef Matt. Got feedback on my chapter on Future Security Threats & been working hard getting sponsorships for Diana Initiative. Feels like a good week, even if I didn't do any paid speaking prospecting.

Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

I came across the phrase “China wants to be US and Russia wants to destroy US” while research the Future of Espionage chapter of my spy book. I think about that phrase almost every day.
I think both have now succeeded. 😭😭😭
The end of an era.

There's only millions that lose their jobs & homes & sometimes accents
There's only millions that die in their bloody wars, it's alright
It's only their lives & the lives of their next of kin that they are losing
Don't worry, shut up, sit down, Go with it & be happy

I love/hate my brain. I was almost done w/ this writing today & then thought, let's do a comparative analysis of these 12+ scenarios, identify key change variables, identify the new threats each one increases (or decreases) & rank them in order of preference for positive human innovation.
