We all have questions

How will I afford a home? Will my job even exist after AI takeovers? What about democracy, does it stand any chance with the rich and powerful holding all the cards? What about this planet? Biden already knows people suffer— and die — from climate heat, is this not an emergency? Should we declare it a code red pill?

Abortion? Will women ever achieve the same personhood as a fetus? Where? Is a fetus less a person in some places, or more a burden, in rich homes? What about dogs and cats, which is better? Don’t we kill them and shrug every single day although they are sentient? What about the birds and bees?

Forget about the butterflies, they just got listed as endangered, why?

What about that time we killed entire ecosystems? Is that murder? Does nature have natural rights? Why not?

Why so many ads selling you more stuff when you can’t figure out how to deal with everything we already have? Why is it always: Marxism/Socialism versus Capitalism classism? Can’t we have more imagination than that? Why not Blorkism…
