There won’t be a new politics until first there’s a new conversation. Support its emergence so we can change the game in time. secure.actblue.com/donate/ma…

Our leaders think it’s OK to normalize despair of millions of suffering children, tolerate systemic layers of racism in our criminal justice system, allow dangerous carcinogens in our food & water, & perpetuate the hoax of a war machine while calling it national security. I don’t

I don’t know. I see people with supposedly high EQ/IQ fall in line attitudinally just like everyone else when it comes to whether or not we can change politics.

There is old-think & there is new-think. Old-think sees the world as a big machine & what you have to do to change it is tinker with its moving parts. New-thinks sees the world as a living expression of group consciousness & what you have to do to change it is think differently.

They didn’t go because they were voting against extending the money, and they didn’t want the embarrassment of having to face all the first responders who were there.

If anyone needs proof of the cravenness of our political system, go no further than the absence of Congressional committee members at today’s hearing for 9/11 heroes or their failure to extend funding for their health care. So much for “We’ll never forget you.” They musta forgot

Humanity is heading into one of two eras: either an age of great darkness or an age of great light. Should we choose fear to guide us, we will see darkness; should we choose love to guide us, then we will see light. One is war and one is peace; one is death and one is life.

What I dislike most about Congressional Repubs going along with Trump even when they know better, doing so out of fear that otherwise they might lose their seat, is that it implies they’re the only ones who ever had to face ethical choices. What happened to honor? Or to spine?

The prohibition against marijuana has been as ill-conceived and ultimately harmful as was the prohibition against alcohol. Now it’s time for it to end. reviewjournal.com/news/polit…

The biggest shift needed in the 21st century is in our attitudes towards children. To an obsolete economic system, children are basically invisible because they are not yet workers. As president, I will make the health, well-being & education of the American child my #1 priority.

Undoubtedly. But a happier, more fulfilled person labors at a higher level. Right now, our system keeps people only as fulfilled as necessary to keep them producing cheap labor.

We need to return to our original mission statement: that God gave all of us inalienable rights of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness, and governments are instituted to secure those rights. That’s it in a nutshell. When we align ourselves with that, we’re on the right track

We essentially live under a system of economic tyranny, in which forces run by corporate overlords dominate the behavior of our government, the organization of our society & the rules of engagement under which most of us are forced to operate. We can see this and we can change it

As the 21st-century unfolds, it’s time to completely debunk economic theories left over from the 19th & 20th. Value does not derive from labor; it derives from self-actualization. Everything we do to help people express themselves at a higher level puts value into the economy.

"This is a government of the people and by the people and for the people. It's time for our generation to rise up now and say, you know that part? We mean that."

Thank you to @BonnieErbe and @ToTheContrary for having me on!
"There's no one group of people, no one institutional corner, in this case the traditionalized politicians, who somehow have a monopoly on wisdom."
When it comes to equality, @marwilliamson says wisdom will be the answer.
