I am writing a blog post that may be important. It is mostly done and has already been reviewed by probably 100 different people from all walks of life at this point, with all consistent feedback merged, synthesized, and folded in. It's a near final state, or at least as near as any writing can ever be "done". That said, if you would like to PRIVATELY review this blog post and provide feedback to me before it goes live Tuesday, January 7th 2025, find my email address on my blog and email me.

"Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a "super-industrial society". This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from "shattering stress and disorientation"—future shocked. Toffler stated that the majority of social problems are symptoms of future shock. In his discussion of the components of such shock, he popularized the term 'information overload.'" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Shock

"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

"Work is service, not gain. The object of work is life, not income. The reward of production is plenty, not private fortune. We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can and do read worthwhile books." https://credo.library.umass.edu/view/full/mums312-b203-i031
