This article is written as an outcome of that conversation, as requested by those who participated.
Essentially, the framework of the conversation, as I initially listened, is best described as a series of questions amid a group of smart intellectual types who are very understanding of the nature of our current situation.
In various forms they were asking each other the same question.

“The Soldier’s Faith,” a Memorial Day Speech
“The Soldier’s Faith,” a Memorial Day Speech"On May 30 – Memorial Day — 1895, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., a Harvard man and then a justice on the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, delivered an address to the graduating class of 1895 in Cambridge. The speech, known as “The Soldier’s Faith,” is in and of itself fascinating substantively and also for its indirect effects.
Regarding those, Theodore Roosevelt, another Harvard man, read the speech some seven years later and determined to appoint Holmes to the Supreme Court on account of it.
Beyond that, the speech is incredibly prescient, in certain respects, and eloquent, even poetic, on the question of personal courage and purpose to a degree that will seem alien to most Americans today, at least those of us who have never served.
In this special episode for Memorial Day, we read (almost all of) “The Soldier’s Faith” with annotations and digressions, which we hope you find fun and interesting!...

Never forget!-----Review: "365 Days: 50th Anniversary Edition," by Ronald J. Glasser
"Don’t count the days—make the days count.
So goes an old adage on military deployments.
Ronald J. Glasser did both as a physician treating the wounded in the Vietnam War.
- After returning home, he wrote 365 Days, a collection of short stories drawn from the patients he treated and the colleagues he served with...
- The 17 stories in 365 Days assume the perspectives of combatants and others connected in some way to the front lines.
Much war literature focuses on a platoon, squad, or company
365 Days recalls the oral tradition of war stories...
365 Days recalls the oral tradition of war stories...
Here, for example, is how he describes the work of front-line medics, asked time and again to do the impossible:
Medics in the 101st carried M & M candies in their medical kits long before the psychiatrists found it necessary to explain away their actions. They offered them as placebos for their wounded who were too broken for morphine, slipping the sweets between their lips as they whispered to them over the noise of the fighting that it was for the pain. In a world of suffering and death, Vietnam is like a Walt Disney true-life adventure, where the young are suddenly left alone to take care of the young...

Searching for ESG scores?-----Woke Capitalism Gone Wild | Power Line
Woke Capitalism Gone Wild | Power Line - JOHN HINDERAKER"Of all the strange phenomena of our strange era, the most inexplicable to me is woke capitalism.

- Along with Budweiser, a number of other companies have driven off the “pride” cliff.

CEO of biggest carbon credit certifier to resign after claims offsets worthless | Carbon offsetting | The Guardian - Patrick Greenfield @pgreenfielduk
"...It comes amid concerns that Verra, a Washington-based nonprofit, approved tens of millions of worthless offsets that are used by major companies for climate and biodiversity commitments, according to a joint Guardian investigation earlier this year.
In a statement on LinkedIn on Monday, Verra’s CEO, David Antonioli, said he would leave his role after 15 years leading the organisation that dominates the $2bn voluntary carbon market, which has certified more than 1bn credits through its verified carbon standard (VCS).
