Crises, Demands, and Civil Disobedience

The US needs universal healthcare, gun regulation, averting the climate crisis, universal suffrage, ways to hold law enforcement accountable, and maybe a worldwide universal basic income of $1-2 dollars per day. I love the rule of law, but the wealthy and powerful are above the law. Only poor people are punished. The wealthy and powerful will survive the climate catastrophe, and then pretend that billions of people never lived after most of humanity is wiped out. They will pretend that the genocide that they perpetrated never happened. Law enforcement tells people to play by the rules, but the rules are specifically designed to prevent any sort of change, the necessary changes that have been waiting for decades.

Some people want to prevent reform, and have given up on democracy. Other people try to play by the old rules, which won’t be coming back, and when one side has already knocked over the boardgame.

One solution is peaceful mass civil disobedience, or a peaceful mass strike, with a list of rights we want acknowledged and protected. While Democrats hold the House, Senate, and White House is when to makes these demands.

Book List of 2020

 I am giving a list of my favorite books that I read of 2020. Note, these are not books that just came out in 2020, but these are books that I read for the first time in 2020. The Basics: Philosophy by Nigel Warburton. A basic introduction to philosophy that discusses ideas like the existence of God and voluntary assisted suicide. A good introduction to philosophy that is written in a conversational style. Bad Boys, Bad Men by Donald Black, MD. Black is a psychiatrist who has extensively studied Anti-social Personality Disorder (ASPD). Anti-social personality disorder is costly to society and the people are those with the disorder, because of the havoc they cause because sufferers break so many social norms. Crazy by Pete Earley.

Why Americans Should Support Ukraine

            Ukraine fights Russia, not just for itself, but for the preservation of political and economic freedom everywhere. Sometimes after a country has an increase in democracy, and then later there may be democratic backsliding. For example, this is what has happened in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Today in Russia, dissidents and protestors are arrested, discredited, or silenced. Barriers creating checks and balances between branches of government are removed.             Both democracy and capitalism require the rule of law, and the rule of law requires justice. Without justice, democracy and capitalism may devolve into dishonesty and exploitation. Ukrainians fight to preserve their freedom to dissent and protest, because Russians do not have those freedoms. If the United States does not continue to support Ukraine, that responsibility falls to ...

Humor and Democracy

               The White House Correspondent Association’s (WHCA) Dinner is a testament to political freedom in America. In more authoritarian governments, satire and political comedy is monitored, discouraged, or suppressed. That President Biden is willing to sit through jokes about him, his opponent, and politics shows that the political system can face its imperfections with good nature, and its shortcomings aren’t so serious that they can’t be joked about. (Also, there is a difference between jokes and bullying. Some but not all jokes are bullying, and not all bullying is joking.) Authoritarians find themselves too serious and important to be the target of a joke. As President Biden toasted at the dinner, to a free press and an informed citizenry! Since 1924, only one President hasn't attended  any  WHCA Dinners. See below. P.S. The image of a goldfish is from Open AI's algorithm, Dall-e. It's not a real goldfish.  Edit: P....
