 @edc128e6 “For those who pay attention” — there you’ve hit it. There are passages in our lives when we don’t have the luxury of paying attn b/c we are so busy. The young and the old are often the ones who have that luxury or regain it.

 @fc573d1d You’re correct. It’s up to those who do have the luxury to make sure things are seen as broadly as is possible for what they are. 

Otherwise others who pay attention find it far too easy to push past those who aren’t. 

If there’s a wolf sitting on your porch in the morning, I’d hope my neighbor who saw it would let me know right away and not just talk to me later about the facts that there are wolves in the area. 

As you can tell, I think we have wolves at the door.

 @edc128e6 I agree we have multiple URGENT problems to solve. You are a smart, patient man who communicates beautifully and your powers of persuasion are right up there. It’s up to each of us to try to reach a few of our friends w/ “the wolf is at the door” message. Cheers!
