We know the character of what we’re being told, that we’re being jacked around by advertising hacks and academic prostitutes; but it’s not sufficiently important to us that we’ll question those explanations when we know that we should. We even seek out more of them when something like the IPCC report threatens to villainize our complacency.John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07402794337521523610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-65037940798494035812019-04-07T17:32:26.198-07:002019-04-07T17:32:26.198-07:00On the bright side, Kristen Neilson’s quit fired.

It troubles me that we're making decision, more aptly avoiding making decisions, that will have consequences we won't be able to undo. If that's true what are your options - resigned acceptance, fighting on, something else? I don't know.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-61849089164391576122019-04-07T12:58:24.205-07:002019-04-07T12:58:24.205-07:00For what it’s worth, here’s my stream of conscious...For what it’s worth, here’s my stream of consciousness. I’ll try to delay my standard assignment of culpability to the libertarians, which has always been my method of giving up.<br /><br />If you’re going to ask someone to make some sacrifice to the purpose of achieving some common good, then you’ve got to offer them in return a recompense they can understand. By now I’ve come to believe that the survival of our grandchildren may be beyond our ability to understand as of benefit to ourselves. Why would we take even one step beyond when the libertarians have provided us with such a comforting set of easy answers? Oops!<br /><br />Okay. That’s it. I’m done. I’m sorry. I give up again.<br />John B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07402794337521523610noreply@blogger.com
