Year of the Snake Chinese New Year in 2025- Jan 29 2025 The year of the snake is meant to be a year of intelligence + inconsiderateness. Remember the idea of yin-yang is very present in many chinese schools of thought so it isn't merely what is emphasized that is positive but also what is negative. Intelligence in this case means search for knowledge which at its most negative is inconsiderate to the ramifications of such searches. Dynamite with the noble prize, the nuclear bomb by oppenheimer, the 1900s computer by turing, all of these were acts of knowledge, the person that started these technologies wasn't a warrior but each regardless to their intentions had an inconsiderateness in their quest for knowledge to the dangers and destruction their technology in its form or advanced would bring. Turing was punished for being a homosexual, at least in my view, so he took his life after the second phase of the war of white european empires. Oppenheimer had a role in giving the nuclear tech to russia to make sure the usa alone didn't have the technology which post hiroshima + nagasaki , which I can tell you from a first hand source was not needed militaristically, the usa proved it shouldn't have possession of any nuclear weapons and at the least none alone. Noble has a prize still awarded in his name, dynamite did tons of damage on the battlefield or to environments. I know some in the knowledge community, science[from the latin] means knowledge not wisdom or arithmetics [mathematics [[from the hellenistic]] means knowledge too, not arithmetics or wisdom],view the acquisition of knowledge is to be achieved regardless of how it is used. It is inconsiderate of inconsiderations , assuming a faith based notion to it. So the most positive outlook is to help those you can with your knowledge, embrace the erudition to derive more knowledge, and be careful of inconsiderations. It is a wood year, so wood is strongest at springtime, the colors are greens or blues. Wood deals with growth, which at its best can be a time of great advancement at its worst can be a time where one is.. to big for their britches. ORchid or cactus are lucky flowers.The fourth lunar month is the month of the snake. So it is strongest then, any babies born from april 20th to may 21st1 point

I'm all for boycotts. I boycotted Amazon for a years, but ended it because I was alienating too many authors who were making books exclusively available from Amazon. People who make a lot of money from these companies are not about to Boycott them -- I learned that when trying to get others to Boycott Amazon. The list of companies we should be boycotting should be MUCH longer. Why these five were selected is not clear to me. At the top of this list should be Meta, but I guess the organizers are using Meta's properties, Facebook, Instagram, etc to get their message out. See the problem... @Chevdove McDonald's should be on everyone's because their food is hazardous to our health... I asked Chat GPT who is organizing the Boycott and this was part of the response; Tabitha Brown's reaction was really just a convoluted way of saying. "Chile, I'm making too much money from Target to support a boycott and honey y'all really need to continue supporting them 'cause that is how I get paid." I think she misses the larger point. It is not about her products. The reason so many more Black women products are in the store is because of DEI efforts, which these companies are discontinuing. Besides we are only talking about a 28 day boycott?! The reality is Tabitha has nothing to worry about. Most people are not going to boycott Amazon for 5 minutes let alone 28 days... For what it is worth, I'm going to support the boycott.1 point
