  • I think whether we like it or not economic systems have forced their way into our political systems.

    And anyone with any existing power is strongly incentivized to kill any “new ideas” in the womb. As they would most likely represent a departure from the current system that they benefit from.

    Any dramatic restructuring is going to be a very “significant” event. We may currently be on the precipice of one such event in the United States, this remains to be seen. The existing power structures have been significantly destabilized and pre-existing norms and rules are being outright ignored.

    Power will shift, it remains to be seen how much and to where.

    In any case, we may have the opportunity for you to see some new interesting governmental concepts, or perhaps a return to some classics, or a mix of the two (a little overtly capitalist fuedalism perhaps?).

    We sure do live in interesting times.




  • I’m gonna be pedantic for just a sec cause I want to share my visualization with you:

    Isle - small island

    Aisle - row of shelves typically housing objects like groceries or books, etc.

    That caused me to think about a small archipelago that could fit in a neighborhood that consisted of different ethnic or national peoples hawking foods. Like large swimming pools with floating stands manned by someone yelling “get your Twinkies here! Twinkies!”

    I’m crying.
