Happy Angst Giving

Pause and remember all that you are thankful for. Enjoy the day.

With all of the ominous challenges we are facing, people are still arguing about who killed Kenedy. You'd laugh if you heard me say that in a casual social context. It’s a joke, a bitter ironic joke—a protective tonic.

Most of us are apologists for business-as-usual. We may not be as intelligent or educated as Steven Pinker, but we do our part.

What we lost, we lost long before what we lost due to the assassinations of the 1960s, through dozens of choices, big and small, and uncompromising faith in a system that would always destroy visions of peace and cooperation among peoples and nations.

What kinds of democracies have we known since ancient Greece? What has come of modern democratic social experiments or any other social systems we’ve tried since the dawn of fossil capitalism?

What did international cooperation look like before modernity? We have no idea what it's like to be hunter-gatherers. With the exception of some indigenous and isolated groups that have existed and survived in small, remote pockets of the world, we have no idea what their values were or how they felt about life. We have not inherited mythologies from their like. We know only civilization and its demands, and it demands everything.

This is because this is.
