Choose my wife over Timism
My friend and wife of almost 50 years began showing signs of dementia in early 2025 which has been confirmed by brain scans. She requires more and more of my attention and time to be safe. Each week adds another time requirement. As is I do most of the cooking, washing, laundry as well as watching her when she showers or takes a walk. I need money for a domestic to assist my wife.
To say my wife has stood by me in creating Timism does not paint the full picture. Timism would not exist without her. She was far more than the dutiful wife as she read, critiqued and improved almost all of Timism's texts. She allowed me to retire at 49 in 1999 so I could focus on Timism. The time was spent creating the different websegments especially documenting climate change.
She kept working till 2022 when she retired at age 72. Why did she work so long? In order to provide the monthly $1000 to $1500 that Timism needed. Since 2000, we have invested over upwards of $500,000 in Timism including a $70/hour internet guru on a weekly 3-hour retainer ($210).
She made sacrifices of time, money, vacation, travel, and retirement for a reason greater than being a dutiful wife. As an intellectual, she saw the potential of redefining democracy and economics based on Timism's Morality of More Time. While she saw the potential she also saw humanity's existential immaturity in being dedicated malignant materialism as an impediment to the Primary Moral Imperative of saving life on Planet Earth from Climate Hell.
In 2003, she had open heart surgery. I walked away from working in Minneapolis to be her houseboy for her four month recovery. The original heart surgeon screwed up. A 5-day $60,000 procedure because a 4-month $330,000 bump in the road. Despite Timism being the core of my existence since the 1970s, I never regretted a single second of being there when she needed me. I commenerated my gratitude and thankfulness to her with a plaque:
