    Distract you from what? What ever your answer is, how do you know it isn’t a distraction as well?

      You can kind of distill all the bullshit away. And what is left is truth. And that truth may not be pretty, it might be chaos. And when you get there paradoxes form in terms of the questions of “how to make this place more livable”.

      That’s not really a good answer to your question, I know. But this topic is basically impossible to simply express.

      Here are some of my thoughts that might bring together the ideas.

      “…It’s a vast subject, a dense subject. I can’t possibly do justice to it in the time allowed. This means I’m going to have to insult your intelligence by skimming across the top of subjects that you could get a PhD dissertation written in and still not cover thoroughly. This massive documentation of course is the salvation of the intellectually attuned. I urge you to read for yourselves. Do not take anything I’m saying tonight as the gospel. I’m telling you that our leaders lie to us. They lie to us systematically. They lie to us with a purpose that may not be your purpose. Some of their lies, if you’re a young man may motivate you, uh, to go off someday and die, be killed or to kill people.”
