re: #166 Big Beautiful Door

I’m pretty sure that Drumpfskind’s plan is for Drumpfskind’s self-glorification. Full stop.

As for the rest of our society - I suspect we’ll just amble on and end up where we will. There is no master plan (contra certain religious dogma and Masonry conspiracists) - humans just do our primate-thing.

We care about reproductive opportunities and our place in the pyramid. The group-myopia is strong.

Which is why big picture policy fails in political battles (e.g., climate change mitigation.)

How we as a nation can do better is probably rooted in our getting back to accepting that our local community politics need real attention - the turnout is so low in non-Presidential elections that only a small fraction of a community ends up running the whole show.

And maybe most people are fine with that. Let someone else make the decisions.

Just give me cake.
