from roundup to drones, from nationalism to theocracy, from theft to murder, from democracy to global domination, we just don't get it. if we don't understand nature, we understand nothing. i wonder what it would take to teach us, to deliver us, from ignorance and hubris to wisdom and humility. i don't want to write about it, i don't want to think about it, but everything i see going on around me reminds me, we are like living in a desperate dream.
