A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
The teaching which I received was genuinely democratic in one way. It was not so democratic in another. I grew into manhood thoroughly imbued with the feeling that a man must be respected for what he made of himself. But I had also, consciously or unconsciously, been taught that socially and industrially pretty much the whole duty of the man lay in thus making the best of himself; that he should be honest in his dealings with others and charitable in the old-fashioned way to the unfortunate; but that it was no part of his business to join with others in trying to make things better for the many by curbing the abnormal and excessive development of individualism in a few.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 1 “Boyhood and Youth” (1913)More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/8…

And lastly, leaving you all with this essay by #DuskinWayne. The key takeaway I got from this is that wanting to achieve success isn't limited to capitalistic / selfish pursuits -- it can be utilized to create #ABetterWorld for everyone and the planet. (Note -- I don't agree with everything Duskin Wayne says, but I found it interesting in terms of thinking about 'what is human nature'?)
#StabilizedWorld: Social Welfare vs. Independent Pursuit of Success
Published 2025
"Imagine a future where technology has solved many of the world’s biggest problems, creating a society that is more stable and equitable. MIT’s Fourth Scenario, the 'Stabilized World,' envisions a society where basic needs—like healthcare, education, and income—are guaranteed for everyone. With the rise of artificial intelligence and automation, labor has been redefined, allowing people to focus on what truly matters to them. In this world, the question becomes: Is happiness found in the security of a welfare state, or in the personal achievements that come from pursuing one’s own version of success? According to the scenario, this societal stability follows a period of collapse that is predicted to occur between 2030 and 2060, as we face #EnvironmentalCrises and economic #disparity.
"In this future, social welfare isn’t just a safety net but a foundational element of society. No longer do individuals need to fear falling into poverty or being excluded from opportunities. With a guaranteed basic income and universal access to essential services, people are free to explore their passions, whether that’s launching a startup, creating art, or dedicating time to personal development. This system allows for creativity and innovation to flourish, but it also raises a fundamental question: What drives happiness—personal success or the stability that comes from being part of a secure, #collective society?
"Although basic needs are met for everyone, the desire to achieve more, whether in wealth, status, or recognition, doesn’t disappear. In fact, many would argue that the pursuit of success is what gives life meaning, even in a world where the basics are assured. While the 'Stabilized World' provides a cushion, individuals are still encouraged to push boundaries, create, and innovate. But here, success is not solely defined by financial #wealth or #fame. It is the result of personal effort, #creativity, and contribution to society’s #GreaterGood. The tension between achieving for oneself and achieving for the collective good creates a nuanced approach to happiness — one that blends personal fulfillment with a sense of responsibility to the whole.
"This balancing act is particularly evident in the realms of education and entrepreneurship. In a world where the pressure to survive has been lifted, more people are free to pursue their dreams and develop new ideas. But does this individual drive to succeed come at the cost of social cohesion? In this future, innovation and entrepreneurship are celebrated, but they must be seen in the context of societal well-being. As people rise to success, they are encouraged to think about how their achievements can improve the lives of others. The concept of wealth shifts, moving away from mere accumulation to the idea of access — being able to live a life that goes beyond survival to one of exploration, joy, and meaningful contribution.
"Ultimately, the 'Stabilized World' scenario presents a society where personal ambition and collective stability coexist. As people work to achieve their own goals, they do so in a framework that ensures the well-being of all. This makes us ask: Is true happiness found in the wealth we accumulate or in the security we offer one another? The pursuit of success is no longer just about individual triumph; it’s about how we can innovate, create, and live in ways that benefit everyone. In this future, we learn that the intersection of personal ambition and social welfare isn’t a battle to be won but a balance to be struck, with both paths leading to a richer, more fulfilling life for all."

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

US says white supremacist group tried to incite followers on Telegram to spark race war
A white supremacist group that branded itself the #Terrorgram #Collective drew up a list of high-profile #assassination #targets including at least one senator and a district court judge, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Monday.
Prosecutors allege that the two leading agitators of the group incited followers on the messaging app Telegram to commit #hate #crimes against Black and Jewish people, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
#Dallas #Humber, 34, of Elk Grove, California, and #Matthew #Allison, 37, of Boise, Idaho,
face 15 counts each of soliciting hate crimes and providing material support to terrorism.US justice department lawyers filed the 37-page indictment in district court in the eastern district of California on Thursday.
It alleges the pair encouraged attacks on government infrastructure, energy facilities and other buildings
“to ignite a race war and help accelerate the collapse of government and society”.They produced a digital dossier for followers called the #Hard #Reset setting out the group’s ideology and containing instructions for making #bombs and carrying out other terror attacks, as well as tactics for #evading #law #enforcement, prosecutors said.
They also produced a list of “high-value” targets for assassination, they said.
⭐️The sitting US senator and judge allegedly targeted were not named in the indictment, but were perceived by the accused “as enemies of the white supremacist cause” and therefore legitimate prey.A former US attorney, state and municipal officials and leaders of a number of private companies and non-government organizations also featured on the list.
Each target had a digital card with their name, address, photograph and an image of their residence if available, the filing states.
Each was targeted because of “race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation and/or gender identity”.The accused pair’s actions, prosecutors said, were more than just prospective and had global reach.
They said several attacks were traced to the group, including the shooting #deaths of two people at an LGBTQ+ bar in Slovakia in October 2022; and the #stabbings of five people outside a mosque in Turkey last month.The Telegram app has come under fire recently as its CEO #Pavel #Durov was arrested in France on 24 August as part of a cybercrime inquiry linked to Telegram’s failure to properly fight crime on the app, including the spread of child sexual abuse material.
Telegram has denied allegations that its platform facilitates illegal activities such as terrorism, fraud and child exploitation.
Federal agents in New Jersey also foiled a planned attack on an energy facility by an unnamed 18-year-old in July this year.
The two accused are in custody and awaiting a court date, officials said at a media conference on Monday.
“The federal government is adapting and evolving its strategy to confront hate,” said Kristen Clarke, the head of the justice department’s civil rights division.
“Whether carried out on our streets or perpetrated by way of online platforms, we will follow the facts where they lead and use every tool available to hold perpetrators of hate accountable.”
