Those are big questions. Not easy one. Difficult and strange and dislocating ones. I think we’re barely asking them at all. For me though they’re the ones that count

Sure we’re just animals. Am I “smarter” than Snowy? Nope. He is way more socially and emotionally intelligent than I am. I may have some advantage in symbolic reasoning, but so what? He is every bit my equal.

I just published Is Our Future Fighting Each Other Desperately For Survival On a Dying Planet?

“How on earth is it that incomes aren’t high enough even in the world’s richest countries that people can afford places of their own to live? Shouldn’t we call people that don’t even own their own home or little slice of land ‘serfs’?”

“Don’t buy the myth. There’s no ‘civil war’ in the GOP. Trump conquered it, and then declared victory. He proudly gloated that Trumpism was the GOP’s future—and not a dissenting voice was heard. And then he told you this was just the beginning.”

“Nobody should have to be in debt their whole lives just to have the basics. People like that aren’t free. They’re in a form of bondage. They’re wage slaves. Neo-serfs.”

“Poverty dehumanizes us, my friends. We have now grown poor in the truest way. We tore through the planet’s resources. We destroyed our own middle classes. We ripped through our own democracies, societies, economies, and then even our kids’ futures.”

‘These two things are not equivalent. The left wants to “cancel” people culturally, for trying to take away personhood from others. The right wants to cancel people politically, socially, and legally, in order to take away their personhood.’

“Our economies are now divided into two classes, effectively. One, owners of capital — true owners. And everyone else — a massive underclass of people who are neoserfs, perpetually in debt to the first class of owners.”

“It shouldn’t be the case that you have to work a lifetime to pay off the debt of having the basics, from a home to utilities to education to healthcare. That’s as crazy as it sounds — not much of a life at all.”
