The argument for birthright citizenship is crumbling, as Chief Justice Roberts dismisses claims about domicile and parental intent. With eight billion people just a flight away from U.S. citizenship, the justices question the practicality of determining citizenship based on a parent's residency.

“… know, the original line was the pursuit of property. And they're like, we should maybe make it a little more general. But in much the same way that Kennedy got us to the moon.

America's founding principles are based on aspirational ideas, not necessarily truths, as seen in the Declaration of Independence. Despite being one of the most powerful nations, many Americans no longer believe in its philosophical underpinnings, such as inalienable rights. This raises questions about the role of belief and delusion in driving innovation and societal progress.

Jackie Kennedy's early life was marked by an acute awareness of beauty and social dynamics, shaped by her father's teachings and summers in East Hampton. By the time she met John Kennedy in 1951, she had developed a unique perspective on art, style, and social grace, recognizing that aesthetics could influence how people perceive and interact with the world. This understanding would later inform her role as First Lady, where she sought to transform the White House into a space of beauty and meaning.
