    A great one to read after that is "Propaganda" by Edward Bernays. Another classic. The writing is very clear and concise. Some of the things he says are so wild that it's best to read it first hand. I think you'll know when you see it 😅 LMK if you give it a shot!

    I read about agriculture so that I am not overwhelmed by the history books. Did you know that bees use polar coordinates to communicate the location of high quality nectar? Such an amazing animal! 🌹🐝🌹

    1/ Indonesians wanted control of their natural resources. US oil companies did too. This culminated in a US-backed military coup in 1966, which oversaw the murder of 400k to 1M Indonesians. "Economists with Guns" outlines concrete examples of US support for these mass murders.

    "After nearly 20 years in prison, Alfred Melbourne decided he did not want to see other young kids wind up in the system so he started Three Sisters Gardens to offer an alternative." Inspiring story! Maybe you know someone to share this with. Please try!
