Plato, Ion, 534b-e:

“For of course poets tell us that they gather songs at honey-flowing springs, from glades and gardens of the Muses, and that they bear songs to us as bees carry honey, flying like bees. And what they say is true. For a poet is an airy thing, winged and holy, and he is not able to make poetry until he becomes inspired and goes out of his mind and his intellect is no longer in him. As long as a human being has his intellect in his possession, he will always lack the power to make poetry or sing prophecy. Therefore, because it’s not by mastery that they make poems or say many lovely things about their subjects (as you do about Homer) — but because it’s by a divine gift — each poet is able to compose beautifully only that for which the Muse has aroused him […] it’s not mastery that enables them to speak those verses, but a divine power, since if they knew how to speak beautifully on one type of poetry by mastering the subject, they could do so for all the others also. That’s why the god takes their intellect away from them when he uses them as his servants, as he does prophets and godly diviners, so that we who hear should know that they are not the ones who speak those verses that are of such high value, for their intellect is not in them: the god himself is the one who speaks, and he gives voice through them to us. […] the god is showing us, so that we should be in no doubt about it, that these beautiful poems are not human, not even from human beings, but are divine and from gods; that poets are nothing but representatives of the gods, possessed by whoever possesses them.”

Regrettably, our team encounters substantial obstacles in progressing A Voyage North into Early Access, primarily due to persistent DDOS attacks on SourceHut. These disruptive incidents have significantly hampered our collaborative efforts, causing a notable setback in our development timeline. While we initially aimed for a Late January release, the current situation introduces uncertainty to this schedule, and it appears as though Mid February is our projected launch.

Despite these challenges, we extend our heartfelt support to Drew and the entire team. We sincerely hope that, in response to these malicious actions, the community rallies to aid and fortify sr.ht's resilience in the future. On behalf of ShaderX, I want to express our apologies for any excitement regarding this month's launch.

Though hindered, our commitment remains steadfast. We continue to diligently work on various town quest lines and advance production on essential gameplay systems. However, the constrained work environment has slowed our progress in reaching the launch state of the game. Your understanding and continued support mean a great deal to us, thank you for standing by us during this trying time!

Too broke to have the benefits of owning properties? Look into REITs.

Real Estate Investment Trusts, are investment vehicles that own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate across various sectors. In the context of the NASDAQ, REITs are listed and traded as securities. They provide investors with a way to invest in real estate without directly owning the properties.

REITs typically own and manage a portfolio of properties, such as commercial real estate (office buildings, shopping centers), residential properties (apartment complexes), or specialized real estate (hotels, healthcare facilities). The income generated from these properties, in the form of rent or mortgage interest, is distributed to REIT shareholders in the form of dividends.

Some forms of REITs are "disaster proof" such as healthcare facilities, as even during times of financial crisis, people need access to medicine.

It's important to note that REITs are subject to specific tax regulations, and they are required to distribute a significant portion of their income to shareholders in the form of dividends to maintain their tax-advantaged status(This is why it can be advantageous for companies to form REITs)
