> I have a young daughter and my goal now is to provide a very broad and varied upbringing, exposing her to as many different perspectives and experiences that will lay the foundation of a broader ability to understand and adapt as the world changes ever faster.

I'm curious how you intend to do that ?

It is not so unusual to read books that have stood the test of time at least somewhat.

Newness is not really a valuable quality when it comes to books, barring some exceptions like books on subjects that change frequently and meaningfully.

Diminished quality however is a meaningful signal, and would give most serious readers pause.

While I personally believe a lot of America is worth saving, it is not up to us, and the arcs of history take many decades to play out.

As Brexit has shown, even when sanity returns, the previous reality does not.

So it is not that we wish the USA ill, or harm, quite the contrary - we did not ask for this. We have clearly understood the message and we are focused on our own future now.

> But I believe you can relax, because this is all nonsense.

Sorry, but no.

Even if there are no kinetic attacks towards allies right now, the "crazy old man" is causing real harm. Harm to global stability and the world order, economies, to businesses and individuals, to long term initiatives such as research and healthcare. But most importantly, real harm to the trust between ourselves. Western allies can no longer trust the USA, it is broken, we no longer have the same values.

The first time in 2016 we forgave, everyone makes mistakes and Europe is certainly not free of them. But the American people chose to elect him twice with full knowledge, now everyone suffers.

So the rest of the world forges its own path now. America's military, economic and cultural hegemony will decline. Not tomorrow, maybe not even quickly, but inevitably. Godspeed !

not human civilization, just the United States.

Yes, prices are high because demand exceeds supply, but there are no shortages that have not been followed by supply gluts.

Does anyone have a roadmap ?

Sustainable weight loss requires a holistic approach across 4 main areas:

  1. Diet - healthy eating habits that result in a caloric deficit while giving you the required energy
  2. Exercise - strengthen your body, contribute to caloric deficit, improve how you feel. Start slow and prevent injuries.
  3. Psychology - work on the reasons that caused the excessive weight and develop habits that help maintain weight loss in the long term
  4. Medication - use of semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications in support of the above

Combining these will set you up well for results. It will still not be easy, it will still take a long time, but it can be done.

Keep in mind that people are strongly opinionated about things like diet and exercise, but certainly in case of severe obesity, any exercise and any caloric deficit is better than none. Don't listen too much to people who have no been overweight before, they don't speak from experience. My personal view is to work towards a combination of cardio, strength and mobility work, but most important is to find something you think is fun or exciting, as the habit-forming aspect is key. The rest will follow.

> The secret is you have to make your own meaning.

Existentialism is one approach, or you can turn towards Camus and accept life has no ultimate meaning, and live intensely despite that knowledge.
