@bjorn I'd just like to offer some words of advice, given that you've offered me several during the year.
I note you have this streak in you about right or wrong... I don't know if I'd call it a righteous streak but I note it's deeply embedded.
I note that you sometimes fall into the trap of thinking you can "will" something into existence just because you think it and feel justified in thinking it. You usually add some sort of moral or ethical element into this act of "willing".
I'm not saying you're wrong in what you think, I just want to say that the world doesn't operate through the act of willing things into reality. If reality is going in the opposite direction to where you're expecting it to go, doubling down on this "willing" tendency won't make it more likely for it to change course.
I'm not sure but I don't know if you think that by not "willing" you'll be helpless and so to not be helpless, you have to "will" even more strongly? I think there's a huge risk of falling into wishful thinking when we think we can change the course of things by demanding things go how we want them to.
I think a lot of Trump supporters are potentially ripe for this right now, where they could potentially get manipulated and used.
I'm not sure but I'd just like to let you know I've observed this. Similar to what you've advised me, I think there might be something to be said about taking the observer position in a sort of non-attachment, non-anticipatory manner especially in things that are way outside our control or influence. FWIW.
