I love the explainer on aphantasia! I’m one of those people and I still find it fascinating that people can see images. I thought “picture yourself on a beach” was always a metaphor when I was younger. So fun to see differences.

As someone who is on the opposite side of this spectrum I find these discussions fascinating too. The way our brains work is so interesting!

I just occurred to me (after 25 years of marriage) that I wonder if my husband has some form of this. He does not like to read because he can't picture it in his mind. The only books he reads are Star Trek books because he's watches the shows enough to know what the characters and setting look like. I will have to listen to the more in depth explanation.

If you are interested in why the Civil War actually started, you should read Battle Cry of Freedom by James M McPherson. The “States Rights” the Confederacy was trying to preserve was slavery. It said so unequivocally in the articles of secession. His section on the political run up to the war is still relevant today. Again, those who forget the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them. Many have pointed that out but unfortunately,few listen.

I was discussing the new podcast series with a fellow Governerd and we were curious about its similarities to Resilience. What does your podcast team hope we take away differently from 9066? Looking forward to listening to it!

I thought Preamble was Sharon McMahon? This says another name. What have I missed??

I thought the same. There was another article posted recently by Ed Payne. (The Government Promised to Pay… article). It appears she has a team working for The Preamble now. I’m sure she needs the help but would love an intro/bio of the team.

100% - especially during these crazy times. Who the thoughts and words come from matters very, very much 😂

Sometimes she hands it off to someone else for a day. She's done it before.

I looked up Ed Payne and he says on LinkedIn he is working for Sharon now. I think that is different from guest posts (like from Gabe).

When I click on the link for Adam Zeman I get an error message. Can anyone help? Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing. I am curious if these are recommendations from Sharon or from her staff? Or maybe both?
