Pax Earth? Pax Moon? Pax Mars?

Pax Proxima Centauri?!

Pax Earth, and now. Let's collaborate... Oh, wait, we are.. That's why we write here, don't we?

That's tough, yet we can trust that he will probably not get 8 or more, and there is a probability Democrats will come up with a decent candidate and win..

@freemo

Absurd, isn't it? But, are you sure such "teaching moments" are a waste of time? And why worry about unknowns? We have enough knowns to worry about now 8-)

@freemo

This is a great argument that entails a test for real positivity as opposed to the fake and toxic kind:

Positivity is true only if realism and criticism are welcomed.

It is the rare (enlightened) being who welcomes criticism.
But, what is realism? What is real?
Harari in his latest book asserts that suffering is the most (and only) real thing. Is it?

This pretty much sums up the USA, a bunch of people with severe mental health problems compounding the issue with toxic (and fake) positivity at every turn. More over the second someone is realistic or critical that positivity will turn to rage in a heart beat.

The USA is by far the least mentally healthy place I have ever been.
