Personally, I appreciate your ability to talk about a range of topics and how they’re linked together and how we should expand our thinking on a daily basis.
John, I appreciate your willingness to wade into dangerous political waters. What is dangerous is not being a bit wrong, but the emotions that result from the appearance of being right. Some people hate having the truth pointed out to them and will resist it ferociously!!
A few thoughts regarding what's you've stated . . .
Please don't hold back. Everything you write about affects everything of concern.
I could not agree more with F. Scott Fitzgerald's definition of intelligence. It's the epitome of finding peace while living with uncertainty.
So please, I do hope that you'll continue doing what comes naturally to you, which is to explore and expand on a range of topics that are joined at the hip. Isn't this what we refer to as a Renaissance man?
I may not always agree with your point of view, but it's good to see different sides. How do we learn, after all? If someone only wants to read 'their' self believed narrative, there is no intellectual growth. Keep doing what you do!
Hi John, I like your comments whether I agree with you or not. And, it is those times that I have no opinion that it is good to consider both sides of the topic. I enjoy the historic examples you provide, and the examples from literature too. Thank you, John!
I am striving to become a more well-rounded person in my knowledge and understanding overall. The variety that I receive from you, Dr. McCullough and Mr. Hulscher via Focal Points COURAGEOUS Discourse is one of my FAVE sources. Keep up the EXEMPLARY work!
Whoopi just woke up today and declared Trump’s MAHA war on obesity is “what we can do to make America Healthy again”, 😂😂😂
Like the View was sleep walking the past year until Fried Okra declared her biology victimhood today on her show. As though Dr. Atkins never existed. And Trump never lowered the costs of Oprah’s fat drug synthetic gila monster venom months ago. And the USDA food pyramid by DemoCrat lawyers and VP Mondale along with Big Food corn syrup and highly processed foods with seed oils and GMO soy designed to explode insects were not causing any of this. It’s all due to biology victimhood by golly. 🙃🙃🙃🌈
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
I agree.
Often, hard to retain that level of flexibility, but well worth it as it allows you to "hear" the other side and someday be intelligent enough to change your mind before it is too late.
I find that at times I don’t appreciate what you have to say. It now prompts me to pay closer attention. I’m realizing that being a life long learner is not an easy task at this time of life. Learning new things doesn’t always play nicely with what I think I already know. Thank you for continuing to share a larger picture of possibility
I may disagree with you, but appreciate you challenging the bubbles we all live in and operate from. If you challenged anyone and they upset you but you expand your bubble for their idea or their idea by yours; then you are still doing the right thing.
Shame on the people who just want to hear their bubbles regurgitated. Do better & Best wishes!

Agree. And it is HIS newsletter after all.

Dear John Leake,

Sincerely,
Tami Bone
from deep in the heart of Texas
Love everything you write
Whether I agree or not on any given day, it's a rare pleasure when a classically-educated, erudite individual shares his knowledge without lecturing.
Leake's manner of expression and historical perspective enhance his work and distinguish him from others on this platform.
I will second that one!
I may not always agree with your point of view, but it's good to see different sides. How do we learn, after all? If someone only wants to read 'their' self believed narrative, there is no intellectual growth. Keep doing what you do!
Thanks for the choice, but I like to watch your informed intellect struggle with the public issues of the day.
I completely agree, all commentary, any subjects Peter feels of import or expertise in, are of interest, at least!
Includes John of course.
Love your writing! Next time your on Maui look me up. I love Breakwall but surf Puumana to Launiopoko way more often.
Hi John, I like your comments whether I agree with you or not. And, it is those times that I have no opinion that it is good to consider both sides of the topic. I enjoy the historic examples you provide, and the examples from literature too. Thank you, John!
OK.
I will have to also second THIS one.
Good ones Rosa.

Consider Scott Adams as my example.
I find that at times I don’t appreciate what you have to say. It now prompts me to pay closer attention. I’m realizing that being a life long learner is not an easy task at this time of life.

And a broader concept of history. It’s helpful.
I may disagree with you, but appreciate you challenging the bubbles we all live in and operate from. If you challenged anyone and they upset you but you expand your bubble for their idea or their idea by yours; then you are still doing the right thing.

Will we still get the health “content” here? Do not want more inputs, as keeping up with all now a challenge!
I enjoy and gain valuable insight from Everything you write! Don't limit yourself!
