Well said Mark

I'm not sure what's left to do. Voting doesn't work, at least if you aren't a populist. Demonstrating doesn't work, at least if you aren't populists storming the US Capitol while shooting the guards. There is no generally accepted alternative to the system we have now waiting in the wings. I'm 57 years old and the most visible permanent change I've seen in society during that time is gentrification.

I know, it's really difficult to know what to do / how to make a difference. I take some inspiration from Churchill, who decided he just had to 'keep buggering on' the last time the world faced such an existential threat. I do have thoughts on an alternative system, but the problem is how to get new ideas, or even old untried ones, into the mainstream. Thanks for reading though.
