This was a brilliant piece, almost like reading a screenplay or a prose poem. I loved how you bring us back to the glories of Pericles' Athens to describe what a flourishing prosperous society looked like then. The imagery of Athena was a great choice (she's a personal favorite of mine), and then how you brought us back to the disturbing financial present with an irrefutable citation of stats. IDK how far you got into the SVB situation, but there are more layers of that onion to peel back. Bravo, Thi! And thank you for creating this.
The Athens reminder was an encouraging Hallmark that I shall carry in my heart. To have faith in humanity is fundamental to our sanity.
