## Resource

Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau try to answer the age-old question: Is telling our children to "follow their dreams" a useless exercise in futility that will set them on a lifelong path toward disappointment? Plus they take a look at black history versus human history in the wake of the Artemis II launch and comments made by the crew. And they discuss where America stands on Sydney Sweeney in 2026.
