Somebody assassinated Charlie Kirk and twitter goes down hard. A very dark day in America.

I guess this is where we are...

Are we there yet?

His overall view is worth considering today, given what is happening in the United States. The telltale signs of entering a "time of troubles" are the attempts to escape it by returning to a perceived past time of "greatness" and a leap into the future (AI, technocracy, etc.)
While today's tragedy evokes all manner of thoughts and emotions,
I have to wonder what is so big, somewhere-else, that we are not supposed to see.
Charlie Kirk's gifts were endearing, to many, and 'insane' to others...but, a 'big' assassination...placed on him...when school shootings, Ukrainian immigrant's stabbing, IDF taking out opponents in Qatar...?, It's like a symphony that keeps your hairs standing on end...needing the next 'fix'.
Will Charlie Kirk be old news...by Saturday...or Sunday?
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
