40 mass shootings in the USA since the start of 2023… and January isn’t over yet.

“#America is a kind, generous place… if you have money. It’s a rapacious, violent place if you don’t have #money.
To be wealthy in America is to be loved. People find you interesting, they want to know you. You have a broader selection of mates.
I think about money a lot. I did nothing but pretty much #work for 20 years. I don’t remember much else but work. It cost me my hair. It cost me my first #marriage. And it was worth it.”
— Scott Galloway.

Explain to me how we can hope for something humane and virtuous out of our #civilization when Carnot’s “Réflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu” received little attention from contemporaries, the guy died at 36… And now we switch the #AC, open a cold beer & ask “Carnot who?”
