What is the perfect ecosystem in the natural world order? And why would we ever imagine a Utopia was possible for us, if we can’t find it anywhere else in natural ecosystems?

  • Plato didn’t believe in democracy, because it allowed ignorant men, incompetent men, and pandering tyrants to become elected & take advantage of the people.

    He wanted us to be ruled by idealized philosopher-kings who studied to become enlightened. Who didn’t have any possessions or wealth (and therefore couldn’t be distracted by them).

  • The day after the election, I gave up on America

  • I invested a lot of emotional energy over the years trying to be part of the change. Trying to be part of this progressive movement forward. 

    But there’s a principle in physics called The Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that, in a closed system, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it has to be transformed.

    And it occurs to me that the current American electorate is precisely that. We only get so many new voters and lose so many old voters per election cycle.
