#SundayWisdom from Michael Crichton: “There’s nothing more sobering than a 30-year-old newspaper.” Flip through old headlines and you’ll find no shortage of apocalyptic predictions and existential crises that have long since faded into obscurity. The media amplifies fear because fear captures attention – but it only works if we’re willing to consume the news uncritically. A prosperous society depends on citizens who can distinguish between genuine threats and manufactured hysteria. Resist panic, think clearly, and remember that fear is one of the easiest things in the world to sell.

#SundayWisdom from Milton Friedman. If every problem in society could be fixed with a new law or regulation, we would have become a utopia a long time ago. Before demanding a new government intervention, make sure the last intervention isn’t what caused the problem in the first place.

Some timeless #SUNDAYWISDOM from the great Thomas Sowell. Whether it’s the socialist left or the populist right – it’s easier for politicians to sell people a villain than the truth. It’s easier to tell people someone else is responsible for all their problems than it is to ask hard questions about culture, incentives, and personal responsibility. Conservatism is different: we know that people are not helpless. Their prosperity comes from self-reliance, strong families, good education, hard work, and the freedom to build a better life. As true today as it was when Sowell said it over four decades ago.

#SundayWisdom from Victor Glover — the first man to pilot a spacecraft to the Moon since 1972. If you’re focused on personal credit, status, or recognition, you’ll never reach your potential. If you’re focused on the mission and helping the team around you succeed, incredible things can happen – like going to the Moon.
