  1. Are you voting FOR something or AGAINST something? Are you acting out of HOPE, or out of FEAR? Do you really think the world can be a great place if everyone is acting AGAINST everyone else out of FEAR? Who is making you afraid? and are you actually rewarding them for it?

  2. I don’t see why endless unprecedented weather disasters, massive human migration, resource scarcity and outright environmental destruction, coupled with a wide-open internet and AI computed alternative realities and deepfakes wouldn’t be conducive to peaceful, progressive multi-racial democracy? What was the question, again?

  3. Global warming, being a global problem, has the potential (although not the guarantee) to worm its way in to any problem that takes place on earth
