In the late 1980s through the early 1990s, my wife and I did business with a factory in Pakistan, supplying electronic & mechanical components for a radio built for their Army. The new owner of the factory was a Pathan tribal chief from the area straddling Pakistan & Afghanistan. On our first visit to the factory, our liaison was a young engineer who told us that the owner was 'a simple man'. Prompted for a little more in the way of explanation of 'simple', the engineer said that the owner would be as 'at home' sitting down with a truck driver having lunch at a roadside cafe as he would be dining with a cabinet minister in a 5-star hotel. Simple can be powerful and humble simultaneously...the wave function doesn't always collapse.

That is how I see simple as well. To take the complexity out and focus on the essential.

I love your simple savageness!!! And yes, we have been forced to acclimate to a constant barrage of “nonsense”. I get absolutely irate every time I step out of my car to fill up… there’s a screen at every pump with a talking head telling me what I need… FU! I found a few places with no screens and will frequent them more often. I’m with you, good doctor. Simplicity is what my soul craves. Cheers!

I love your connotations on this view of things yes in this world the word simple has been Weaponized for me I am definitely a simple sort in this day and age in this time of my life

I’m the happiest when I sit on my back patio having a phenomenal micro IPA from a local brew pub just 15 minutes down the road from me watching the little critters in my backyard that I have created an environment that they feel safe and comfortable in watching the squirrel chipmunks which is one of my favorite little critters the multiple different types of birds that come to my feeder and of course the miniature herd of deer that feel safe in my oasis in my yard among the neighborhood that’s just a hour away from the city that’s where most my thought processes are done I’m one that likes to read but a lot im not a well read individual but I’m very analytic in my thinking of any issues that come up I’m blessed to see the offsprings of the deer to hang out in my backyard they bring them up to my back patio for me to say I still stay away from them cause I don’t want to be comfortable to be around humans not to trust them as I don’t myself lol but I get to see the newborn fawns every year over the past three years it’s such a joy simple yes but it’s complete of the nature of things to observe them as they get older develop into the moms themselves or bucks in some cases I’m simple I can go to the park lay on the grass and listen to some music and watch bumblebees and honeybees get the nectar from the clover that’s right by me the beauty of nature is what always amazes me that I embrace feeling happy all in this between my downtime I repost many of the things I see here on Substack and from other people that I follow such as Dr Gary Null Dr John Campbell and like you know what I mean my two favorites from here which I have just probably came across the tip of the iceberg of the information on Substack is Dr. Jack and Dr. Jessica Rose I put a lot of stuff on my Facebook page it’s open to the public I don’t it’s not closed anybody can view it I would say 80-90 % of my posts are on health vaccinations issues for COVID-19 and I do a lot of market analysis myself because I am into trading the stock market in the past three years I have never gotten a like or a comment on these issues except for once I think because it’s a coworker just liked it other than that no pushback on anything I have said I haven’t lost any friends on Facebook yet so that’s actually a good thing but there’s no interaction dialogue whatsoever but I’m hoping at least one person reads the stuff that I get from you guys and learn something as I did then to me that’s worth it , I have been treated a little bit differently but I totally have not been abandoned from my friends or family on Facebook not yet anyway😂

Dr Jessica Rose you are on a roll of info today

My head is about to explode from the great info , you are amazing I don’t know how you keep up this pace again thank you so much for your insights and for all the information you bring forward to all of us 😊💕 🍺

That’s odd there shouldn’t be hundreds of Eric Turrell very few but it’s the one of Lincroft NJ my latest post is about the recent study of ivermectin killing prostate cancer cells

It’s mostly re-posts and my editorial comment on several of them in between I put post of my trips animals like Dr. Jack with his cats 😂and my favorite IPA latest release 🍺Lol

I loved them. Somehow I couldn't comment on them--but I sure do admire your taste! Dr. Campbell on failure of trust in doctors and the medical system. Dr. Lyons-Weiler on Ivermectin's role in treating prostate cancer. Ratio'd on how Canada authorities and big pharma lied to citizens about vaccine toxicity.

Yeah Dr. John Campbell is one of my favorites too I’ve been following him since the beginning of the pandemic He’s an orthodox clinician nurse I observed his morphing into what he’s today to what he is now challenging the narrative he wasn’t that way from the beginning he was a pro vaccine he still is but he was telling people and suggesting people to get to COVID-19 people at the beginning line so many of the converts that now are challenging the narrative from our government and health institutions he had trust in the system he no longer has it now you can see that a lot of his latest videos where he has been fact checked a couple times and then warned so he’s very crafty and how he says things on his videos you watch a lot of his videos you’ll see what I mean

Yes! You know who really cracks me up? J.P.Sears! Every time JP says "vaccine," he gargles--so it comes out "vaxxxxgrrrrrrine"

I agree, but have a question, When does Prepping become Hoarding ? or does it Ever?

Prudent people store up in times of plenty. So do Prudent governments with their Grain Storage, like Moses advised the Egyptians, and the USA used to do, or the Strategic Oil Reserve which democRats* Consistently Drain?

*(My comments above Do Not Reflect Endorse of repubRats or Rinos or the Bushie NWO Cartel )

Trump 2024 because everyone else is unacceptable and Trump comes highly recommended by his enemies, who are my enemies. Simple.

prepping can become hoarding. it depends for me on usefulness of objects :)

Kirk Honda is a couples and trauma therapist on YouTube. He says hoarding gets diagnosed when you run out of room. So if you are a poor person living in a tiny one room apartment, animal control will arrive to remove all but 2 of your 50 cats. But if you are a wealthy mogul living in a mansion, you can build a separate mansion to house all of your cats. But nobody can go in because the cats are all feral and will bite and scratch--but that's another problem. Catnip suits can be manufactured and sold to such owners with embroidered names. Poor person living in a car because their house is filled up with junk and feces? HOARDER Rich person with same amount of junk but still 2 empty rooms: NORMAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnF_M8xpgD8 I believe diagnoses should not depend on how much money you have. I believe Honda was not aware of this problem. It's why minority youth get jailed for criminal behavior, while wealthy teens get off with "boys will be boys." Sure mental illness is more easily diagnosed when it interferes with functioning. But rich people have so many ways of compensating.

I played volleyball in a tournament where no water was available. Instead we had to buy cokes to slake our thirst. But it was never enough. The high sugar content soon absorbed water in the intestines--and there we were twice as thirsty. Never never enough. I drank 15 cokes that afternoon. Fortunately, the exercise burned off all the sugar.

It was Joseph, not Moses, who stored the grain in Egypt before the 7 lean years came. Joseph had the executive abilities of Cardinal Richelieu whereas Moses just relied on God to send mana from Heaven while the Hebrews wandered 40 years in the desert without provisions.

I never thought of the word simple as negative as described by Merriam Webster. I do understand it has multiple definitions but not primarily negatives ones. I agree, simple is good for the soul. I think simple is eloquent and beautiful.

Great post! I’m 48 years old and 3 months into a sabbatical that I forced on myself as I was completely burned out running a construction business AND fighting for the future of western civilization here in Berkeley CA. I’m close to being destressed from work. I’ve been working on the concept of “enough” for a while now. Praying, meditating, concentrating on the idea I have enough. I have way more than enough by the way. I just never realized it because we always need more, right? Just this past week I stumbled on the idea that life does not need to keep getting more complicated for it to be more rewarding. I’ve been telling everyone about my epiphany. That has been fun to do. Sharing that idea with my peers who are still caught up in the SF Bay Area rat race has fully melted some people’s minds.

What a time to be alive?! I’m certain that without the insanity of the last 3 years I’d not have reached the place I am today. I’d still be grinding. Still be a miserable cynical moral atheist and not a God fearing man with enough. I’d still have my old “friends” which turns out weren’t friends at all. It doesn’t really matter because it is what it is, but hard for me not to think this last 3 years wasn’t worth it all.

Wow! what an amazing comment. Thank you. You helped me realize I need to simplify too.

Enough is my favourite word, concept and mantra. There are very few out there that really don't have enough. The rest have too much to cope with.🤗

Incredible beauty in simpleness.

The Technocrat Psychopaths cannot see it or appreciate it, if they can see it.

They have a compulsive disorder as part of their controlling derangement disorder.

They lust after power and control. This is their disease. They're sick. They aren't like you and me, and that's why so many can't understand how such sickness could prevail in the world... so far. I'm with Jessica. Simply tell the bastards to f--- off.
