Feeling quite under the weather today. I’m praying that it’s not you-know-what, because I have a sore throat. I did some Latin this morning and started reading The Plague by Albert Camus. I ended the day with some creative personal writing. I also took some breaks to play ACNH. Hopefully this will pass and I’ll feel better in a few days.
Tea of the day: Master Spring oolong from Taiwan Sourcing
I just want to go out there and start living in a cottage in a forest but alas, I have to study the political currents and events that resulted in WW2.
catching up on the dialogues that accompany the free grammar lessons now that i have a premium membership on ttmik.com. active repetition is the key to memorization!!
Don’t confuse my hatred of the hyperwealthy for jealousy over what they have. I don’t want a six figure sports car, or a 40 room mansion, or a gold leaf truffle wagyu steak dinner. I want redistribution of wealth that allows for infrastructural support of all citizens’ basic survival needs.
1.22.20 | Man, it’s been a busy first two days of school. My professors are really starting to kick it up a notch but I’m feeling good surprisingly. Hope all of your quarters/semesters are going well!
I mostly worked on Calculus homework today, but because I’ve been feeling so off, it took me around 4 hours to do three questions and I did three the other day. So shejjddj it’s 9 at night and I’m exhausted. I definitely need to be more productive tomorrow.
economists really took the divine right of kings and turned it into billionaire CEOs
“About twenty years ago, I attended a lecture by a Harvard professor who talked about how corporations operate like modern-day kingdoms. At one time, she said, people believed kings ruled by divine right, and today we seem to believe the same thing about corporations. Toward the end, she asked, “Do you know what it is that allowed people to let go of, overcome, and reject the notion of the divine right of kings?” I held my breath and got ready to take some notes. Her answer: “They just stopped believing in it.”
