Running In Circles - IAAC Day 36
Another day that I Am Alive and it's time for another rant... :) Okay, it is not a classic rant, but "small" one... Anyways, if I can rant, that's a sign that I am alive!
I know that there are people with different opinions about this virus, and I do respect all of them. And I don't want to go into that at all, but I do want to go into the "post-era" after it... The awareness about what comes "after" is much more important than our current state. Why?
As I like to poke around my favorite social networks, HIVE and LBRY, I have watched daily vlog by @iamraincrystal, where she said one important thing that worries her the most... She said something like: "If we don't die because of this virus, we will die from the hunger..." Unfortunately, that is not so far from the truth as the whole world has stopped, a lot of people lost their jobs, and a lot of businesses have closed without the chance of re-opening...
And another trigger for this vlog was my chit-chat with my old friend that is in totally other working sphere and has no knowledge about crypto, but he asked me how can he secure the value of his current assets... To be more precise, where to invest his FIAT money as he is aware that something is coming...
Something we can change, and something we can't... It is interesting that very often we are "entertained" with something that we CAN'T change, living the other thing aside (which we CAN change and influence)... Check out the video for more insights...

Thanks for the pick, Russell... Appreciate it!
Great piece, I am hoping and praying we don't go back to the selfish, self-centered life we all "enjoyed" prior to Covid 19, which does seem to have brought out the best in people.
Unfortunately, I don't see some different attitudes in people... exactly because of spreading fear by media... which leads that people become exactly what you have said, selfish and self-centered...
anyways... we will see what will happen... the change always starts from ourselves...
Thanks for the comment. Have a great weekend!

STOPDo not miss the last post from @hivebuzz:
I watched your video this morning and failed to leave a comment because today didn't go as planned. My kids restart school on monday and it seems that they are really sick of the lockdown. So let's say it was a tense day ;-).
We are in a world where media can get an audience only when they touch our emotions. Fear is the easiest emotion to trigger. I've read reports of medias having a rough time because of lack of advertisement, so they need to sell these papers or e-papers and they need to feed us fear. This fear makes us run around in circles till we run into a pole and it knocks us out... Well figuratively speaking. Fear is the worst counsell and it inhibits everything. When fear dominates our lives, we can't think clearly and behave rationnaly. In addition our thoughts are dominated by this fear and we fail to do something very important which is to understand and plan at a rational level.
Thanks for your thought about the blog post... There are some other emotions that can be triggered besides fear... Speaking again from personal experience, fear is the first, then comes to "protecting" "your people" (or nationality, but it can be in other forms)...
Real-time example, you are feeling attacked if someone is walking on the street without a mask... from fear, you start to judge, after that to hate, and you see where it goes... In the meantime, media is serving the story that you HAVE TO go against your irresponsible neighbor... etc... I don't want to draw the devil on the wall... :)
Brighter topics... So, schools started to work normally in Switzerland? Here in Spain thay have said that there will be no school until September... and then, who knows...
Yes, tomorrow they will start school again but it will be with some special conditions. We are all happy that it starts again. The kids really missed their friends and they tended to get a bit bored at home ;-)
I totally understand why are you happy... lol... Not that kids miss their friends, and that they are bored at home... I'm a parent, you can tell me the truth... lol...
They have been climbing on your head! We love them, but, maybe a bit less than 24/7 will be enough sometimes... 🤣 🤣 🤣
Let's say I'm looking forward to have some real calm at home and that I don't have to fight all day long to take tablets and phones away ;-)
