I'm going to read Max Weber this year because I think we really fucked up around the time Protestants came up with the notion that there was an "elect" and we would be able to recognize them on earth for how they were rewarded.

Can't say I'm too broken up about it. Besides, the original crank's been dead for 20+ years.

A memory permanently on standby in my brain is an early Tea Partier telling a journalist that Obama was going to outlaw fishing. We also need to figure out what to do about this whole media apparatus because I don't expect favors there.

Like I said, I hope you're right, but the entrenched leadership worries me, so I think that it will have to be a ground-up change. Perhaps normie dems being upset is the start of that.

I'll be using the conclusions here to also excuse myself from reading a lot of contemporary writing. I'm more on the poetry side, but: Woof. Keeping up for the sake of keeping up is soul-crushing. I would rather do what's fun to me.
