 Sisyphus determines that “all is well,” despite the ceaseless misery he must endure. “The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart,” Camus observes. “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” 
 It’s mind-blowing how insanely distorted the flow of information is. Naive to believe that #Nostr would change that. Choosing to be unbiased is bias. 
 I hope they actually free Ross though. 
 same but I don’t see it happening tbh😢 
 like freeing Ross is literally the easiest thing he can do but he won’t coz they don’t want Ross out of jail.

 “Many staffers call the candidate by his first name, an unusual informality in a presidential campaign. Aides at all levels also enjoy a remarkable amount of access to the candidate and have his personal contact information, allowing them to reach out directly to vent concerns or pitch ideas.”
is this supposed to be serious investigative journalism or just the latest WSJ scuttlebutt?

 all evils (anything that causes suffering or impairs human thriving) are caused by a lack of knowledge. There are no limitations, other than the laws of nature, on our ability to eliminate evils by creating knowledge. 
 Thus, evils are just problems, inadequacies or errors in existing knowledge.
