Our moral obligation is to act to the benefit of the long-term futures. In Longpath you’ll find science+wisdom tradition based practices that ⬆️ your “transgenerational empathy”- a key pillar of the Longpath mindset. This ⬆️ is foundational for right-relation to our descendants.

Plant trees whose shade you will never know AND work on ensuring everyone has food to eat today. That is how we move forward. That is how we make it to a better place. Not utopia, but a place better than we found it. Doesn’t happen overnight but it’s all we got.

To be fair this occurs for almost every presidential visit going back 15+ years. You need a main route and several secure back-up routes (and this area in question is hemmed in by river and hills). These routes include egress to JFK as well as to a local trauma 1 hospital.

Goes back to teaching critical thinking and scientific method at an early age. On one hand we need a longpath approach (trans generational) and more acutely we need to uphold/heroism those that propel critical thinking in the public sphere.
