Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe #SecondContinentalCongress appointed five men, chiefly #ThomasJefferson, #BenjaminFranklin, & #JohnAdams, to draft a #DeclarationOfIndependence on #ThisDayInHistory in 1776. It's worth noting they felt pushed into it by #Lexington & #Concord, and had not wanted independence.
TKSST • seethis.tv 🌈🪐✨💁🏻♀️ TIL: ✍️🎭 #BenjaminFranklin kept creating fictional characters – Silence Dogood, Poor Richard Saunders, Sidi Mehemet Ibrahim – to publish opinions his real name couldn’t carry.
These alter egos let the Founding Father critique authority, satirize slavery apologists, and experiment with #ideas, all from behind a mask. Historian David Waldstreicher says it gave Franklin "the most freedom" he ever knew.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: Long before flying his kite, #BenjaminFranklin was experimenting with materials to stop counterfeiters from faking #colonial paper #money. 💵
Centuries later, scientists at #NotreDame used advanced microscopes to analyze hundreds of surviving bills and found Franklin was using graphite-based ink instead of common soot ink, and embedding tiny mica particles into the #paper that shimmered when tilted. He even printed leaf vein patterns as unique anti-counterfeiting marks. 🔎

WIST QuotationsOne to destroy, is Murder by the Law,
And Gibbets keep the lifted Hand in Awe.
To murder Thousands, takes a specious Name,
War’s glorious Art, and gives immortal Fame.
O great Alliance! O divine Renown!
With Death and Pestilence to share the Crown!
When Men extol a wild Destroyer’s Name,
Earth’s Builder and Preserver they blaspheme.
And Gibbets keep the lifted Hand in Awe.
To murder Thousands, takes a specious Name,
War’s glorious Art, and gives immortal Fame.
O great Alliance! O divine Renown!
With Death and Pestilence to share the Crown!

Craig ConstantineOpportunities to lose focus
The first element to consider when creating a more realistic “ideal day” is that unlike Franklin, we have many more places to be and many more opportunities to lose focus. We have to account for this, not fight against it.

Reflection: Day 55
CHASTITY — “Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
Week three was about the practice itself of reflection; becoming aware explicitly that we are— well, practicing being aware.

We’re in our final week together. The first week was about creating space. 2 minutes: Pause life. Read. Think. Resume life.
