Dear 2016 Wilbert Ross, You probably didn't know it then, but that first step onto the national stage would be the beginning of a journey that would take you places you could only dream of. You didn't win that competition, but you left something behind. An impression. Years later,...

Scott Jennings just made a FOOL out of 25-year-old Democrat wunderkind, David Hogg. Hogg used his time on CNN to blame Republicans for the government shutdown, even accusing Scott Jennings of not caring about people in his home state on ACA subsidies. He was silenced pretty quickly. HOGG: “The entire reason the government is not open right now is because Democrats refuse to be complicit in having millions of Americans, including 100,000 in Kentucky, you’re home state if I’m remembering correctly Scott, that rely on ACA, that would see their premiums rise several dozen percent.” When Jennings finally jumped into the discussion, he came armed with the facts and Hogg didn’t stand a chance. JENNINGS: “But David, you would admit that the ACA was a Democrat legislation, yes?” “And you would admit that the subsidies that we’re talking about now were passed by Democrats, yes?” “And you would admit that the sunset provision in the subsidies, which comes up at the end of the year, was in place because of Democrats, yes?” “Now you want to make it a Republican problem. These are not the same issues.” “You could open the government today and then you could negotiate with Republicans about ACA subsidies.” “And by the way, my suspicion is and you know this, there are probably and I know there are some House Republicans that would love to negotiate on it, but under duress, under a hostage taking situation, connecting disconnected issues.” “And now you’re throwing SNAP onto it. You’re throwing all the federal workers who aren’t being paid onto it, all because of this fight that you wandered into, because of your wing of the Democratic Party.” “YOU ALL led to this SNAP crisis. You all led to this crisis of the government being closed and you don’t know how to get out of it!”

Alan Watts poses a question that stops you in your tracks: "Suppose you are God, suppose you have all time, all eternity, and all power at your disposal. You were given the power to dream any dream you wanted to dream every night, what would you do?" He walks through what would happen, step by step. At first, you'd fulfil every wish imaginable. "You would have all the pleasures you could imagine: the most marvelous meals, the most entrancing love affairs, the most romantic journeys. You could listen to music such as no mortal has heard and see landscapes beyond our wildest dreams." You'd spend night after night in paradise. Maybe a whole month of nights. But then something would shift. Perfection would get boring. "You'd begin to think, 'Well, I've seen quite a bit. Let's spice it up. Let's have a little adventure.'" So you'd introduce danger. You'd rescue princesses from dragons, engage in battles, become a hero. And as time went on, you'd push further and further. Then comes the real turning point. Watts explains: "At some point in the game, you would say, 'Tonight I am going to dream in such a way that I don't know that I'm dreaming,' so that you would take the experience of the dream for complete reality." You'd forget you were God entirely. You'd dream yourself into poverty, disease, agony not out of cruelty, but for the contrast. For the moment you wake up and realise none of it was real. "And you would say, 'Wow man, that was a gas.'" Then Watts delivers the punchline: "How do you know that that's not what you're doing already? You sitting there with all your problems, with all your whole complicated life situation it may just be the very dream you decided to get into." And his final line reframes everything: "If you like it, crazy; if you don't like it, what fun it'll be when you wake up." It's a perspective that doesn't dismiss suffering. It recontextualises it. What if the struggles, the uncertainty, the messiness of life aren't things happening to you, but experiences you chose for yourself? What would change about how you approach today if you believed you'd chosen this exact life on purpose?
