Each of us believes our visions are good and right and with enough reason will be accepted generally.
Why are things like this?
A kind of absurdist fatalism has taken over discussion of "the current moment". In the last 22 months of genocide and reenergized fascism, the simple question "how are you?" has gone from almost dreadfully inappropriate, to a bit of a comic punchline in and of itself,
