Modernity is a desert, and we are jungle monkeys. and so new evolutionary selective pressures are coming to bear upon the human situation, new ideas are coming to the fore. psilocybin is a selective filter for this. the wish to go to space is a selective filter for this. just the wish to know your own mind is a selective filter for this.

I find focusing clearly on the problem is the first step to seeing a solution. the problem is (a) the insane amount of time spent raising money from (b) a freakishly tiny proportion of america. basically .05% are the "relevant funders" of campaigns, meaning candidates can't help but be overly sensitive to the views of that tiny fraction relative to the rest of us. if that's the problem, then the solution is to spread the funders out: to increase the range of us who are the relevant funders of elections, through schemes like vouchers or coupons given to every voter.

We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content. what's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the internet-- and no one's gonna shut down the internet. and it only takes one stolen copy to be on the internet. and the way we expressed it to them is: pick one lock--open every door. it only takes one person to pick a lock. worst case: somebody just takes the analog outputs of their cd player and rerecords it-- puts it on the internet. you'll never stop that. so what you have to do is compete with it.

Some have an idea that the reason we in this country discard things so readily is because we have so much. the facts are exactly opposite-the reason we have so much is simply because we discard things so readily. we replace the old in return for something that will serve us better.

The only tool we have to fix the problems of this country - the democratic process - is itself broken. which is why nothing will fundamentally change until we solve the problem of money in politics.

The spirit of a government must be that of the country. the form of a government must come from the makeup of the country. government is nothing but the balance of the natural elements of a country.
