ARE WE STRANGE ENOUGH TO CHANGE ENOUGH???
Manage episode 480932334 series 3259790
We can only defeat CLIMATE CHANGE ON PURPOSE and RACIST-WARS-EVERYWHERE-ALL-THE-TIME - if we are a lot weirder than our current crop of criminal clowns.
There's a good reason that Philip K. Dick, Octavia Butler, and Ursula Le Guin are so popular. Science fiction can glimpse a kind of moral life so strong it can overthrow the ethno-state. The nonfiction of Mussolini & Hitler & Stalin is sobering. But then you add the Sixth Extinction, and you have an update on government by Laugh-and-Cry-Out-Loud-Cruelty. Trump casts desperate people in their role as stateless migrants so he can demonize them and then kill them as they wander the Earth looking for livable, good weather. You and I are way over here on the horizon, pulling weeds from our little garden. We know we must get some serious personal wildness before the sun goes down.
