Spread the curse of the blackspot

When the sun gets low and the kids are high on sugar, grab your Sharpie and hit the streets.

Start by drawing a blackspot on the knuckle of your punching hand.

Then, leave a blackspot on every big bank, every corporate logo, every hungry ghost feeding on the human spirit . . . Let the mystery and dread of this symbol send a chill down their spine . . .

The old world is dying, a new one is about to be born, now go out and slay some monsters.

As soon as we have fifty thousand members signed up, we will hold a communal brainstorm and decide what the next step in our evolution should be.

OUR PROMISE TO YOU:

We'll hire the most decent, smart and competent humans to run every leadership position in every government department. We'll make being a civil servant one of the most prestigious and desirable jobs any young person could ever aspire to — a values-based calling.

We'll make sure that every court case wraps up within a year. Same with health care: no civilized country makes its citizens suffer waiting interminably to be attended to.

Trump fired 300,000 federal workers; we go in the opposite direction, we'll hire a million and make it work.

Don't think this can't be done. The fact is that it's never really been tried.

Any party that gives this kind of intimate person-to-person service to its citizens — and does it well — is sure to win the next election.

Western WEIRDness

Hot off the press is the newest report of the Global Flourishing Study — an ongoing project managed by Harvard and Baylor which checks in with hundreds of thousands of folks in 22 countries to see how they're doing. "Flourishing" might best be described as truly crushing this thing called life. You're happy, you're healthy, you're at peace. Once again this year, the Scandinavian countries came out on top.

The big surprise was who came out on the bottom: Japan, the UK, and the United States. Countries with among the highest GDP in the world.
