Ditched all polyester clothes
Haven’t heard anything about this… what’s the deal??
Microplastics from the material gets in our bodies through our skin. The microplastics, harsh chrmicles, and dyes also get into our water supply from polyester production. It is an endocrine disruptor and I believe I've read that it can lead to cancer as well.
The modern education model. The Prussian model for education is garbage that incentivizes “cram -> pass -> dump” game theory to pass the next test. Classically educate your kids to be thinkers, problem solvers, pattern recognizers, and well-balanced individuals.
That is interesting! Imagine public school will never cut it when striving for the classical model… you go with home/world school then or research private schools within budget?
Just read your bio actually and answered my question lol. I still have a while to work on it but thinking of home schooling my 7 month old when the time comes. You break things down daily by subject or just go without whatever comes to you and is relevant?
One beauty of classical education is that it connects all subjects, whereas the modern model isolates each subject and doesn’t encourage students to find/see the interconnectedness of the world. Instead of a “math person” or an “artsy person,” classical education connects them. For instance, music is just math in motion, which also is harmonics and frequencies from physics. Had I seen the beauty of math in music when I was in grade school, I would have loved music at an earlier age and not just been put on the engineering conveyor belt of the modern education system. 7 month old is the perfect time to begin exploring your options. Find what works best for your family. Here’s a link to the program we do: https://classicalconversations.com/start-here
As Jack says, it depends… There are many great options these days, but each family has to find and decide which works best for them. My family is part of a Classical Conversations community, which is four days at home and then we meet with 25-30 families one day per week. Next year will be our 9th year, and it’s been a blessing for our family. We’ll homeschool through high school. That said, there is no wrong choice if you’re building lasting relationships with your kids and instilling character and virtue - and all of that is easier to do when the pedagogy prioritizes truth, goodness, and beauty.

Trying to pick single stocks. Instead, I'm just saving in Bitcoin. You don't have to turn into a speculator anymore to preserve your purchasing power, however, most people still play this obsolete game.
It goes deeper than you realize. DTC can print stonks, they can't print Bitcoin (except Bitcoin stonks which is why they finally allow Bitcoin stonks)
I am well aware. If you've read the book "The great taking", it dives a bit deeper into the issue. However, I simply meant that I no longer have to speculate and spend time picking companies (which I'm bad at) to out phase inflation. I didn't indent to comment on the fuckery in the bowels of the stock market. This is an unrelated issue.
Seed oils
Store bought meat
