I feel this. It's so freeing to be able to write what I think, but I do still feel a constraint--a self-constraint, maybe--not to deliberately spout falsehoods or whip up people's anger or fear unnecessarily. I think most non-monster people feel a similar self-constraint? It's just a matter of where each person perceives that line to be.

I'm reading the book LikeWar right now, and it's disheartening to learn that sensationalistic false material gets about six times as much attention as true information.

Kant only is the middle term in our thinking where we are imagining this United States experiment rolling on train tracks again. Jeremy Rifkin recommends it in his new book, switching from in general asking science and thought from proudly supplying the c-4 to blow up pipelines to running thought experiments to see if we can share small victories like : the world has changed and we admire people for doing yeoman's work in more than one modality. I feel that way, my celebrated local blues player turns out to be a skilled blogger in the socialist mode of rapprochement everywhere as soon as possible. I am reminding us that in the 70s boomers were staying in their lanes because they made that calculation, that as soon as they did solidified their intimate lives and too, money stream that they would discover the rest of the world. We have to get there faster. Isn't it true that we can walk freely and talk to foreign nationals anywhere that the US has not bombed?

Jaspers is your underwriter. He is for sure that it makes sense in a chaotic world to talk about the unconditional imperative to what? Go to work Monday morning? That is me saying that, saying i will attend a Pride festival event this year. Why not? Viva la Weimar Berlin. But just one thing: in thought experiment, we should solve Newland Archer's problem in Age of Innocence. Is our opinion that he should have hired the Countess as a secretary? Let's lay the ghost of the Clintons for instance. He was a scholar and no gentleman and we accepted his judgement about bombing Bosnia. Done. Beyond that, why would we want a royal family? And then Newland. We want Newland Archer to start a job as a florist or something don't we?

In the territory of "the categorical imperative" are we? And the role of power in our lives. Bemusing and fascinating that you take time to consider these ethical and life-forming decisions that define our humanity.
