    A few years ago, a friend who's the same age as me (👋🏼) said: What if we grew up during a peak period of democracy that is now ending? I've never stopped thinking about it.

        It's IMPORTANT for me to add: I say this not to stun people into despair and inaction. I say it to move people to TAKE ACTION -- to take nothing for granted -- to WORK for what has value -- to realize where we are. And to realize that nothing is inevitable. Not even us.

        Had a similar conversation with a friend years ago about the peak of human achievement being the moon landings.😬

        Surely putting a robot on Mars is just as good if not a step forward, no?

        I think of Rome. Years of a Republic and then..not so much.

        Dog deeper. WHY did the Romans accept autocracy after having enjoyed a successful representative government for centuries? What happened to convince them to walk away from self-government? Is that sort of thing happening now? That's the stuff to be fighting.
