Unity is good, but truth is better. And sometimes, truth divides. Why does this happen so much more on the right than on the left? Because the left is seeking to destroy - the church, the family, the West - and destruction requires little agreement. Use whatever tool you...

Jeff Bezos explains what it means to disagree and commit “Disagree and commit is a really important principle that saves a lot of arguing.” There will be disagreements in any endeavor in life where you have teammates. “In society, and inside companies, we have a bunch of mechanisms we use to resolve disputes. And a lot of them are really bad. An example of a really bad way of coming to an agreement is compromise.” He continues: “The advantage of compromise as a resolution mechanism is that it’s low energy, but it doesn’t lead to truth… You shouldn’t allow compromise to be used when you can know the truth.” Another bad resolution mechanism is the more stubborn person winning: “You have two executives who disagree and they just have a war of attrition. And whichever one gets exhausted first, capitulates to the other one. Again you haven’t arrived at truth and it’s very demoralizing.” Jeff tells people on his team to never get to a point where you’re resolving something by who gets exhausted first: “Escalate that. I’ll help you make the decision.” When making decisions, you want to get as close to the truth as possible: “Exhausting the other person is not truth-seeking. And compromise is not truth-seeking.” But there are a lot of cases where no one knows the real truth and that’s where “disagree and commit” comes in: “Escalation is better than war of attrition. Escalate to your boss and say ‘we can’t agree on this. We like each other and respect each other, but we strongly disagree with each other and need you to make a decision so we can move forward.’ Decisiveness and moving forward on decisions as quickly as you responsibly can is how you increase velocity. Most of what slows things down is taking too long to make decisions.” Companies tend to organize hierarchically in which the more senior person ultimately makes the decision. But as Jeff explains in the clip below, that wasn’t always the case—he would often be the one to disagree and commit: “I would often say: ‘You know what, I don’t think you’re right. But I’m going to gamble with you and you’re closer to the ground truth than I am. I’ve known you for 20 years—you have great judgement. I don’t know that I’m right either—all of these decisions are complicated. Let’s do it your way.’ But at least then you’ve made a decision, and I’m agreeing to commit to that decision. I’m not going to be second guessing it. I’m not going to be sniping at it. I’m not going to be saying ‘I told you so.’ I’m going to actively try to make sure it works. That’s a really important teammate behavior.”

A Constitutional Attorney SPEAKS OUT Against What The United States Government Has Become, TYRANNICAL. Calls Out Big Pharma MUST LISTEN: “We Have The Right To Resist — When in the world do we start testing things on children?” “We The People is how the Constitution starts. A magistrate is a person that operates under authority and they are lesser magistrates. The founding fathers of this country understood that there is going to come a point in time where the federal government will need to be checked. If not, they will become tyrants. ‌ And that is what's happening now. So, the Declaration of Independence says that everyone, by virtue of being a human being, has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The federal government too, the federal government purpose is to protect the rights of those citizens, the rights of us to our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The third point of that document is if they fail to protect its citizens and enforce those rights, the citizens have a right to revolt. Do you understand? We have a right to resist and we have an obligation and a duty to do so. ‌ Do you understand? ‌ Yeah! ‌ THEY ARE COMING FOR OUR CHILDREN, We cannot sit down! Nope. ‌ Everybody knows even the bad ones know that if you want to affect a country, you go for its children. ‌ When in the world do we start using children as bulletproof vests for us? ‌ When in the world do we start testing things on children? Legal shield. ‌ You have started a war! ‌ Each one reach one and teach one. Do you understand? As a magistrate in this country, the United States government, our government, our local leaders have to answer to us. The ninth amendment says that any rights that are not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the people. I don't want to hear that mandates are not enumerated in the Constitution because for the stuff that is not enumerated means to equal protection is the right to protect my body. When you want to, when you want to push something into my body against my consent, without my consent, it is rape. And this is medical rape. No!”

Gaza is bleeding today… and the people there are living on the edge of survival — trapped between hunger, illness without medicine, and nights without shelter. And despite all this pain, we have taken our very first step in our new humanitarian project, Handala — a small step, but driven by a powerful intention: not to leave the people of Gaza alone in their suffering. Today, as the beginning of our mission, we distributed food meals to the patients in the surgical department of Al-Shifa Hospital and to the medical teams who continue working without rest, despite severe shortages of everything. This first step showed us the true scale of the need… and proved that the road ahead is long, and that what we currently have is not enough to save the overwhelming number of exhausted and wounded people. We are at the very beginning of our project. We are still building our foundation and trying to make a difference despite extremely limited resources. But every humanitarian initiative is born small — and grows stronger through the support of compassionate people. And the painful truth is: The number of people in need is far greater than our current abilities. The funding we have only covers a tiny portion of the suffering we witness every day. This is why we call on you, from our hearts: Be part of the beginning. Help us continue. Help us expand our reach so we can support more patients, more families, more hungry children. Your donation today is not just support — It is the foundation of a humanitarian project that will grow with you, because of you, and will help restore life for those who have lost everything. Let us begin together… and grow together… for Gaza.
