#Theweekthatwas @ 27/07/2025
A week of quick turnarounds taught me that:
Maturity may be overrated but wisdom is not
"We're not a small group, we're an elite group" provides an empowering change in perspective
It is interesting that some minorities enjoy the majority of the world's wealth, control the global media narrative and have access to the halls of power, while other minorities are subject to the worst form of discrimination, abuse and ridicule
Knowing a good thing and not acting on it is worse than not knowing about it at all
If history is shared purely for the feel-good factor, then we miss the learning opportunities it's created
Any real threat to the pockets and economic control of the super-rich will be met with some backlash
Sadly, some (amateur and social) sports players see winning as a higher priority than showing good sportsmanship
Hate has the power to generate unimaginable cruelty while love of power, control and wealth has the ability to provide support to (or remain silent about) such cruelty
Being of sound character and having good manners are far more valuable than having a loaded bank account while being a d1ck
Having a bias towards unity isn't the worse bias to have
Sometimes we hold others to standards which are higher than those we set for ourselves
Emotions have an almost magical way of getting in the way of facts
