ndrosenTo continue with the morning of Sunday, July 30, 2017, Dan Sullivan presented a discussion of Ralph Nader’s It’s Easier Than You Think. Showing up matters. The men who signed the Declaration of Independence were signing their own death warrants. The Internet is great, but we also need to get people out into the village square. There was discussion.
Mr. Sullivan said that in the Ming Dynasty, someone said, “To know and not to do is the same as not to know.” This describes academia today. We’re bored with solutions to injustice. (Example: prison conditions and how to change them.). Blood and guts get ratings; solutions are dull. Further discussion.
He referred to Unstoppable: The Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State, by Nader. The left and the right disagree about some things, but agree on far more. Realities push aside ideologies.
Divide and rule, manipulation by the powers that be.
Nader again. Rationalizing our futility.
The Internet. Young people spend 10 hours per day (girls) or 7 hours per day (boys) on smartphones. Ralph Nader just read about that.
To be continued.
