概要

 Today we return to actual content and take on George Washington’s Farewell Address—the speech where America’s most untouchable founding father gently exits the stage while lecturing the nation on unity, restraint, and the future of this “great experiment” in democracy. It’s a vision of freedom, stability, and civic virtue… delivered by a man who still owned human beings. So yes, freedom—but very much with exceptions.

We zero in on the final excerpt of the address, where Washington acknowledges that he made mistakes, perhaps unconsciously, and warns that it would be folly not to admit error. He expresses regret that any of his missteps may have brought harm to the nation and its people—a moment of humility that hits harder than expected. He may still be a slave-owning bastard, but the insight is real: leaders who refuse to admit failure do far more damage than those who do. This episode lives in that uncomfortable space—where reverence dies, accountability matters, and history stops getting a free pass just because it’s old.
