How to Survive the Post Reality Era

I’m not personally in a position to know whether the CIA is right about Russia hacking our election. This does not mean that I’m dismissing this as something to ignore, nor does it mean that I’m accepting this as something unexpected and unheard of.

Donald Trump was right when he said, “Nobody really knows, and hacking is very interesting.” From technical and other standpoints, he was wrong when he said, “Once they hack, if you don’t catch them in the act you’re not going to catch them.” He was wrong when he said that the CIA’s assessment was, “just another excuse” because without investigating, he can’t know this.

20 Lessons Learned From A Year of Living Curiously

By Becki Saltzman | December 1, 2015

Another official Year of Living Curiously is coming to an end. Living curiously has been an adventure that has taken me down the street and around the world—from gun stores to strip clubs, from inside crematoriums to inside volcanoes, from board rooms to pot shops, from Wiccan rituals to Voodoo readings, from exotic animal clinics to remote bat caves, from typhoon damaged to volcanic damaged islands, and from alligator-filled backyard bayous to oxen-plowed front yard rice paddies. I have loved being inspired by remarkable people hidden behind seemingly ordinary lives.

Living curiously has created inspiring adventures and allowed me to find mystique in the mundane of daily life.

It will do the same for you.
