Media Rumor Facts

More From Peter McWilliams

When there is this giant narrative, when there is a singular story out there like there is right now about the russians hacking the election so that donald trump would win - when the media is pumping it and the democrats are quoting the media and the media's quoting the democrats and it's just like a giant blanket thrown all over the country - don't believe the story. it's made up! it is a script. i call the daily soap opera.

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

Worry Battle Tomorrow
The transition from tenseness, self-responsibility, and worry, to equanimity, receptivity, and peace, is the most wonderful of all those shiftings of inner equilibrium, those changes of personal centre of energy, which i have analyzed so often; and the chief wonder of it is that it so often comes about, not by doing, but by simply relaxing and throwing the burden down.

Senator sessions has opposed protections for lgbt individuals. he's spoken out against freedom corps' marriage equality decision. he opposed the repeal of don't ask, don't tell. he opposed the nomination of loretta lynch, the nation's first african-american woman to serve as attorney general. these things worry me.

Don't worry. you don't know enough to worry. . . . who do you think you are that you should worry, for cryin' out loud. it's a total waste of time. it presupposes such a knowledge of the situation that it is, in fact, a form of hubris.
