I went to the Senate floor today to challenge my colleagues to talk about why Americans are so angry and so alone that they resort to violence so casually. We don't have to accept a dystopia in which kids get shot for knocking on the wrong door or taking the wrong turn.

The upside of assault weapons is just not worth the carnage. Maybe that proposition is debatable if we didn't know whether a ban could work. But we do know. Mass shootings dropped significantly when the 1994 ban went into effect, and then spiked when the ban expired.

Just watched it. Extremely well shot & amazing acting. The building of the tension was intense & brilliant. Really like how it makes you question whether your preconceptions of people & situations could potentially colour your instincts & actions. Very thought provoking.

Watched Black Creek Trail, a great short, on @omeletocom’s YouTube channel. Directed by @somahelmi & Written by @HealthyJaime, who stars alongside @JilonVanOver. Really makes you think about preconceptions & instincts in relation to self preservation. youtu.be/sViR1drp9P8

What can I do for the next 60 days to become a clearer, more independent thinker? "Read the greats in math, science, philosophy. Ignore your contemporaries and news. Avoid tribal identification. Truth above social approval." @naval

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea. Humility is necessary for growth. 🧠
