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.

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.

Spiritual clarity is often as helpful as scientific clarity & is in no way antithetical to it. Would you say that to the Pope? A Buddhist monk? A Jewish rabbi? Regarding my “past statements” what exactly am I to be ashamed of? That I suggested we pray, or that we love each other?
