Thanks for sharing, that does sound good. I really wish people would take a stand on Palestine though. That might be enough for me to vote for someone else alone if there is another option. We’ll see. It’s gonna be a long 4 years before we really dive into this stuff. I don’t want to fear-monger but there is a real chance the next election will be subject to major interference.

I think it’s more important to focus on organizing resistance to the new administration right now.

Maybe. I don’t know a ton about the guy. He had a few zingers but not sure what his background is and whether he’s authentic or not. I didn’t investigate him much because VP barely matters but if he runs then I will.

You might be right but it’s worth a shot. I’m not sure who we’ve got that’s a better option at this point.

To be clear this is an unlikely worst case scenario where we change nothing. But the fact that such a thing is even possible in so short amount of time is pretty stunning.

Why don’t we just ban all advertising? It’s a waste of human labor that not only contributes nothing to society but actually makes it worse.

So not Stein. I think your comment is worded somewhat misleadingly but alright.

What??? When did that happen? Source?

Trespassing outside of people’s immediate dwelling spaces shouldn’t be illegal at all. It’s just a tool for the wealthy to control the rest of us and where we can exist on our common planet.

You’re right, I forgot that the constitution is the basis of all moral reasoning and we can’t make any arguments that don’t stem from it.

What university campus has a closing time?

I’ve often wondered what the implications of the internet will be for future historians. In the one hand, there is now an enormous body of writings from not just the educated elite as in the past but from all sorts of ordinary people, which is something that has never really existed before.

On the other hand, how and for how long will these writings be retained? If we stop writing things on paper, will these digital writings become completely inaccessible at some point? Could we have a situation where there are almost no writings from a certain period down the road? That would be unfortunate.

Horrific. What can we as individuals do to help alleviate this situation?
