This quote has us captivated by its accuracy. 😱
Carl Sagan wrote this about the future of America that he feared circa 1994 in the book “The Demon-Haunted World”
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...”
Gives us CHILLS 🥶

Who disagrees? And if u do, why?👇
Constantly shuffling your investments like a deck of cards might seem tempting, but it's not a winning strategy.
Buy assets you have LONG TERM conviction in...and then keep buying them.
Don’t get fed like a pathetic little caged piglet.🐖
Buy #Bitcoin and roam free like a majestic, wild, untamed hog.🐗
(Yes, anytime either of us is at petting zoos we take pig videos🤷♂️)
