State of the Union

A couple of oceans between a couple of persons can be large enough to not be able to cross while also being sharp enough enough to keep that void cut and open, with that extra saline touch. What happens next? This is a great point of time to think about. Would this just be like a dent in a car which gets fixed and at the mechanic and we all go back driving our way into our old lives, talking about those few days?

Would there be a significant change that alters life forever. It would be interesting to see. It is also a great opportunity to peer into how leaders behave when under stress. Wherever we work, whatever we do, we would be in a microcosm of the same system.

I always used to wonder why my parents see so much news. I know why I will. It is partially for that information, but not entirely. There is so much more about how each Leader behaves, thinks and communicates. No wonder our debate competitions were important at school. Sometimes, it might not even matter what one thinks, but the debate has to go on and the answer has to come up. It has to match or exceed expectations. Welcome to instant gratification where a politician is judged by their low latency high impact responses. Is that what is required to come into power? or is that what is required to take good decisions? Or is that the only metric like we would be forced to identify if we attempt to interview people.. To find a data chart to fit a candidate in, to have a satisfied feeling that we took a logical decision.

Hosw long would it take before blogs close down completely? What has changed in the last few years?

Answer: Instant gratification. Reading takes a while. The brain is in dire need of it's dopamine effect and it has to be visual and within seconds. More than that is going to cause deprivation. We are headed into a spot with a touch of bother.
