Why we need to vote...
every day for ourselves

Blazing Reader,

Many years ago, I saw a YouTube ad promoting a video for this Indian astrologer claiming he knew EXACTLY what would happen on the day of an approaching major astrological conjunction where ruthless Saturn would be colliding with a retrograde Mercury (that should've been paying attention to where he was going).

Idle curiosity subdued my self-restraint, and I clicked on the video.

"Here is exactly what's going to happen on [date]," he began in a thick Indian accent. "You will wake up in the morning. You will brush your teeth. You will eat your breakfast. You will go to work..."

In other words, life as usual, even if Saturn and Mercury are fighting it out in the constellation of the groundhog.

That's how I feel about the election results. While I'm glad people voted for Trump, I wish they'd be just as hyped up about voting for themselves... every day. Multiple times per day.

Making even one small, lasting change to our day-to-day routine will probably have more impact on our lives than whoever is leading the USA for the next four years. For example:

• Going for a walk or run in the morning instead of doom scrolling.
• Starting a business doing something we love instead of remaining trapped in a job we hate.
• Getting serious about finding a spouse instead of the usual "progressive" promiscuous behaviour that has been depopulating Western culture faster than an mRNA clot shot.
• Reading books instead of binging on Netflix (or getting lost on YouTube watching astrology videos).

Little changes such as these transform us in the long run — rippling out into our community, culture and, yes, even government. Independent, happy, healthy, productive people living, working and supporting other independent, happy, healthy, productive people may be the greatest threat to the globalist agenda.

Every day, I vote for myself and a better world by writing philosophical fiction for two hours (on average). Casting that daily story-telling vote for two years led to the publication of Much Ado About Corona.

Stay sane and read great books,
