Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.”

Westerners and the global rich -- like me -- live in post-scarcity society, while a billion people struggle to get enough to eat. And we're pushing the planet towards a tipping point, where the corals die and the forests burn and life becomes much, much harder. We have the resources to solve those problems, even now, but politics and economics and nationalism all get in the way. If we could access all those minds, though...”

“Canary Dirge (From Appalachian Reckoning: A Region Responds to Hillbilly Elegy)
-Dale Marie Prenatt
American Elegy is coming
Just you wait -
A bestseller will kill you off too
I'm a hillbilly, they plum kill't me
Bulldozed my bones into valley fill
with the other dead canaries
When exxon oil busts up your aquifers
a red state lawyer
will write a bestseller
about your loose bootstraps too
and shove them down your throat
You'll be paying nestle for your muddy tap
before your bookclub figures out
that our selenium sludge runs
downstream
and we are your headwaters”
