Action

The input is overwhelming me now. There’s a lot of smart people saying smart things out there. There’s a lot of motivated people doing big things.

People are talking…a lot… about philosophy, about action. A lot of people are telling me to stay in my lane, remember my privilege, trust the process and it isn’t that bad. Others are telling me that things are much, much worse. Some people say the wave of information and misinformation is intentional, and others say Donald Trump and his goons aren’t that smart.

People are getting hurt. People are getting killed. This is how things always have been, they say. This is how things will always be, they predict.

They tell me that humanity has no choice in the abuse and violence. Not in having a choice to commit these acts, nor in having a choice to have these acts committed unto us.

Evil will always offer us an easy way out: submission.

I’m told, there are no answers simply because I cannot offer them. I’m not a fool enough to say I know everything. That’s why I need everyone on my side. *Every single person.* We aren’t going to kill our way out of extinction. We aren’t going to buy or tech our way out. *We need to think it out*. Collectively. Connecting nearly 8 billion minds. And I would bet my life we will find our answers there.
