“Time is not money, time is life, time is love. Each of us has a deep desire that is about much more than just making money—a desire to help others suffer less and contribute to taking society in a positive direction.” — Thich Nhat Hanh speaking to 15 Silicon Valley CEOs in 2013 [The Other Shore p. 133, Thich Nhat Hanh, Parallax Press 2017]

It gives me hope to know that the Trump regime is following the failed Hungary model imperfectly. E.g., there *isn’t* more money in the average voter’s bank account, & we’re not afraid of Trump & his bumbling clown-cabinet.

UPDATES:
1) Tiered group pricing: As enrollment grows, the price drops for everyone, including existing ticketholders.
Tiers:
Seats sold | Everyone's Price
1–5 | 1200 USD
6–9 | 1000 USD
10–16 | 800 USD
2) The class has enough enrollments to guarantee that it won't be canceled due to too few registrations. That is, it *will* run! (caveat: excepting international internet outages or other disasters, of course…)
Finally one of my favorite podcasts had the courage to face the issue head-on. Thanks @radiolab@journa.host !
