Give yourself permission to be unproductive. Life is about more than busting your ass.

There's a difference between being an engineer and being a physicist. One deepens our understanding of the universe and the other uses our understanding of physics to build products. One is clearly valued more by capitalism.

Exactly. The Democrats are incapable of being the change we need.

The Democrats can't have a backbone. They are owned by oligarch interests. Asking the Democrats to save you is asking a shark to stop another shark from eating you. They are rotten to the core.

I'm trying. They are so close. Their whole brains are full of conspiracies of elites trying to destroy Western Civilization and they are so so close to class consciousness.

Lol I'm a leftist. If you want to be productive, you can't push everyone out. You have to find common ground. Our society is breaking. Communism has plenty to offer most MAGA people. They just need to see it.

Society doesn't prioritize knowledge for it's own sake. It prioritizes making money. If society was different, more people could pursue hard sciences.

Ok but that's a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren't evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.

You need to construct a vision of society that allows both to succeed. Everyone is struggling these days and you need to construct a society that values all people.

I just throw my hands up and think "if I need to remember it, something will remind me, hopefully before it's not too late"

No I guess not. I guess we gotta work on that.

Where's a good place to buy books from not Amazon?
