Our political system has played this crisis the same way it played things before the crisis, paving the way for our unpreparedness medically and also our unpreparedness economically. The last thing we need is to go back to business as usual when this is over.

This forced pause is bringing up everything uncomfortable to look at, not only in ourselves but also in our politics. That’s why crisis is both danger and opportunity. We get to look at something and say “Do I really want to go forward with this, or is it time to drop it now?”

What I experienced as a presidential candidate is that the same system which led us into a ditch was very adamant that only they were qualified to let us out of it. Adamant to the point of viciousness towards anyone else, making it very difficult to introduce genuinely new ideas.

I recall on your campaign you said the nation is like an individual thus I say the nation has an ego that fights for its existence even if it is harmful to others. The nation must return to love and let go of ego.

Your tweet is exactly what I’m talking about. You’re certainly free to unfollow, of course. And for whatever it’s worth, I have never in my life made an anti-science comment. Your distain is towards an image that others have created of who I am.
