Asked of attendees in a session I was part of a couple of days ago
“In the midst of doomism and collapsology, where are you focusing your energies? How do you stay resilient and on-purpose in the face of the barrage of bad news?”
How would you answer?
I’m 20 minutes into an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy and I have no idea what he is trying to say. I will continue to listen, but right now I can’t even grok why he is running - other than the usual reason that Rethuglicans run.
