Why thank you! Shakespeare was philosophical imo, and it shows in his works. . It amazes me he got away with his pointed societal criticisms, without being thrown into a dungeon (afawk) or executed! I had to bite my figurative tongue to keep from comparing Iago to a certain well-known public figure, in my nation, but I'm fairly positive many of us can think of a few comparisons.

Thank you again, for the compliment. May you be well, well-read and philosophical! Ashay!

Might be a carbon and unwanted other animal species issues. Bugs, small mammals, and predators thereof. Compost is great but it's still producing by-products. If distribution and politics could be solved (probably politics is the main barrier in distribution, followed by natural disaster, many of which are the direct result of politics), perhaps these things wouldn't be a great concern. But I'm not a scientist.

That's what happens to us too. 😬

That's basically what happens to all of us!

Worse, a significant portion of American voters will vote for him again.

Good choice. Imo, the best notable quote came from Iago - "He who filches from me my good name robs me not of what enriches him, but makes me poor indeed." Or something like that. Iago was a liar, cheat and wife-coveting cad.

Shows the timeless insight into various human character traits Shakespeare had, positive and negative, both with this quote, and the character chosen to speak it.

Alphabet is a huge supporter of Israel, and Google employees were fired for making their displeasure known for Google's uncritical support of a genocidal, illegally occupying nation state. Not surprising, to me.

Corrected, thank you!
