RUI BARBOSA ! 🎯✨️🙏🇧🇷
“A pátria não é um sistema, nem é uma seita, nem um monopólio, nenhuma forma de governo: é o céu, o solo, o povo, tradição, a consciência, o lar, o berço dos filhos e o túmulo dos antepassados, a comunhão da lei, da língua e da liberdade. Os que a servem são os que não invejam, os que não inflamam, os que não conspiram, os que não sublevam, os que não desalentam, os que não emudecem, os que não se acobardam, mas resistem, mas ensinam, mas esforçam, mas pacificam, mas discutem, mas praticam a justiça, a admiração, o entusiasmo. Porque todos os sentimentos grandes são benignos e residem originariamente no amor. No próprio patriotismo armado o mais difícil da vocação, e a sua dignidade não está no matar, mas morrer. A guerra, legitimamente, não pode ser o extermínio, nem a ambição: é, simplesmente, a defesa. Além desses limites, seria um flagelo bárbaro, que o patriotismo repudia…”

Yes, Xinjiang is exceptionally mountainous and features some of the highest peaks on Earth.
Its entire geography is traditionally described by the phrase "three mountains and two basins" because three massive mountain ranges completely enclose its two main desert basins. x.com/NatureMomentz/status/2…

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.
University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book.
Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts.
This is no mere literacy crisis. It is a civilizational one.
To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization — if the schools and universities won't teach the great books, we must form reading groups to study them ourselves.
Every month, we read a new great work. We've covered texts like Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote.
We're now reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.
We must study the ideas upon which the West was built if we are to preserve it. It takes effort to read these texts, and even more to read them well. Thats what we're doing, slowly, in dialogue with each other.
If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group and consider a paid subscription. It makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. We are entirely funded by our members.
You'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

JORGE LUIS BORGES:
“SOMOS, ESTAMOS, e VIVEMOS a CRISE num de seus aspectos mais diacríticos. NÃO sabemos como evitá-la. Ou pelo menos, muitos não sabem como evitá-la. A solução pela FORÇA é a PIOR; é aquela que acarreta as mais TRÁGICAS consequências.”

Um dado impressionante: a @SpaceX lançou mais satélites ao espaço do que o resto da humanidade ao longo de toda a história da exploração espacial.
Após o seu primeiro dia de pregão na Nasdaq, a SpaceX se converteu na 6ª maior capitalização bolsista dos EUA. Com uma capitalização de $2,1 trilhões de dólares, a SpaceX vale duas vez mais do que todas as empresas brasileiras cotadas em bolsa, somadas.

They did it.
SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.
