Don't forget desperation. Desperate people work for cheap. Desperate people will submit to indignity.

That's where they get it!? That is unbearably stupid.
The political asylum/mental asylum/Hannibal connection seems like dementia.
The d&c lie is diabolical - just enough relationship to reality to convince the rubes. Argh.

Their will is a hammer that they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing... where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes, devoid of complexity, devoid of change, where they are right and their enemies are silent.

Such a good score on that film. Iconic, even.

Even before DuckTales there was IMDb Scrooge McDuck and Money (1967). I think several generations of kids learned what money is from this short film created while we were still on the gold standard. I wouldn't be surprised if teachers were still showing it.

I have been thinking about the same thing. I think a lot of people moved off facebook and twitter (for good reasons). Maybe that's why it's slower to come together. Starting locally is a good way to get through this time as scientists and citizens. Science is getting hit hard, but not hardest.

Getting off the 'net is a good idea I think. I keep circling around the question of what I can do. The news is only useful to guide actions. When I have an answer, I'll tune back in.
