Make sure you read the news daily--don't sit in 1. "meditation"

2. in your own cubyhole, comfort zone, groupism, navel gazing.

3. don't be like my good-natured enough friends who say they don't read the news.

4.those kinds of people end up living under juntas or dictatorships like trump musk.

5. don't take things lying down.
