“1st, I don’t have any agenda.
2nd, I am not selling anything.
3rd, I just wanted to share my stories, to tell the truth (from my perspective).
Thank you.” - Joanne Z. Tan
If you missed the four-part Yosemite series, here is the last Newsletter:
“Oppenheimer and the Way of Persuasion in a Bygone Era”
Ironically, dubbed the “father of the atomic bomb”, Oppenheimer, who was talented with multiple languages and loved poetry, was a man of science AND humanity. It was his humanity and a sense of duty that drove him to be vocal against the nuclear arms race, which eventually made him a target of humiliation and destruction by his enemies.
I admire Oppenheimer’s nuance, intellect, brilliance, and the poetry in his use of English language, to convey complex thoughts, to architect subject matters, to persuade what he staunchly believed in, and to imply the mystery of the unknown. Even in his most persuasive statements, his points were woven by logic, facts, and structure. They do not come across as imposing, but with sensitivity even in the strongest argument…
Bragging rights - Joanne Tan predicted a year ago there won’t be a recession:
In this blog dated August, 2022: “Recession? WHAT Recession?” Joanne explained why inflation needed to be controlled, but we needn’t worry about a recession.
She was right! Haha!
Last week, the Federal Reserve confirmed it: There will not be a recession in the US in the foreseeable future.
(If you want to hear Joanne’s predictions about other things such as the next US Presidential Election in 2024, just email her. Hint: Trump will not win, duh…)
