Full agree.
Re the Dem autopsy convo:
Left economic policies are extremely popular.
The Democratic party, which is led by a bunch of corporatists obsessed with elite fixations like impeachment, "norms," and tone policing is extremely unpopular.

We should take this very, very seriously.
The kicker to this Esper interview is chilling.

Removing at this point a Secretary of Defense who had proven himself to be a rational person is not good news. google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.co…

2/ When R’s say something and people don’t like it, they just say it again...louder. If D’s say something & people don’t like it, they tend to try to change the language to make it more palatable. Not good strategy. Conviction behind an idea is what ultimately makes it popular.

1/ Diff between transactional & visionary politics is: transactional puts emphasis on the horse race any given day. Visionary politics stands on principles regardless of any one day’s popularity. Medicare4All, Green New Deal, cancellation of college loan debt; say it loud & proud

Today is the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, a two day killing spree by Nazis that marked the beginning of their reign of terror in Germany and elsewhere. Our knowledge of history is one of the primary antidotes to the repetition of evil. HTTPS://encyclopedia.ushmm.o…

We need to radically and transformatively boost our societal immune system to help people live healthier lives: free higher education, economic opportunity, Medicare4All, Green New Deal, cancellation of college loan debt, environmental cleanup.

Many cancer survivors speak of the experience as having motivated them to change their life. That’s where we are as a society now. We’ve removed a political malignancy from our body politic but we need to ask ourselves what changes we need to make in order for it to not reappear.

Ha! Having lived through that time, I don’t totally disagree with you. It’s not an accident that psychedelics are making a comeback. That, or the enlightenment experience that amounts to their equivalent.

Evolved beings do not just care about their own lives, they care about the lives of their great great grandchildrrn.

Covid and climate change are wake-up calls but are we waking up? We’re adults running the world as though we’re children. Spiritual maturity is needed now: a serious realization that if the next wake-up call comes in the form of a nuclear disaster there will be no more waking up

Like any at-risk species, our collective behavioral patterns are maladaptive for survival. We’ll either evolve or go extinct. The needed mutation is a massive change of heart in humanity’s sense of our purpose: from being here to use the world to being here to heal the world.

The way we order our civilization we’re subconsciously planning our own obsolescence. From environmental degradation to nuclear irresponsibility to economic tribalism, we allow huge self-destructive forces to organize the way we operate. Current prognosis? Maybe another 100 years

We’re a thing centered rather than a human centered society, and a power centered rather than a human centered economy. It feels as though we’re trapped within a matrix of immovable material forces that keep those things in place, but in fact we’re not. We can choose another way.
