today I learned:

at work there was a post with a meme that depicted confusion about wearing a red
shirt. The focus was about the meaning of wearing a red shirt. The origin of the
meme spreading around on the internet is because people are getting mad at Red
Shirts! I think of this and find wonder in what happens to peoples moods if
those in their visibility are wearing white shirts, or green shirts. I know what
happens when I see pink shirts. 

The psychosis in the USA is continuing to build.

A quote: Dune
"There existed no need on Caladan to build a physical paradise or a paradise of
the mind--we could see the actuality all around us. And the price we paid was
the price men have always paid for achieving a paradise in this life--we went
soft, we lost our edge." p.255
