Artificial Wisdom

by Thomas R. Weaver

That was the thing about the truth. Sometimes, you were judged more harshly for revealing it than for concealing

this quote reminded me of Blood Over Bright Haven

Maybe once upon a time, America would have clearly led the pack, but it’d squandered that leadership over many decades as the country itself had become more polarized and elected more extreme leaders on both ends of the spectrum.

“You can’t convince those who don’t want to be convinced. They’ll see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, and studiously avoid anything that challenges their ‘truth’.

We should be putting the resources into turning around the current situation instead of creating safe bubbles from which the rich can watch the poor die.”

People seem to live in both the past and in the future, two big overlapping circles, but rarely focus on the intersection and enjoy the moments given to them right now.”
