What’s next?
Democrat. Republican. Old Media. New Media.
Ignore them all.
Instead — This is your task: Search for revolutionaries.
The more I read, the more I believe that our problems cannot be solved by incrementalism. The deeper I dig, the more I think that America’s problems are caused by institutional deficiencies. There’s something wrong in the structure of our democracy and economy that’s preventing necessary change. What do we have today? A corporate democracy. A selfish capitalism entangled with a corrupt democracy kept in check by a cowardly media.
The people who can point out the frightening changes are valuable, but I need to especially search for those who have ideas about how to create a new future.
Beneath my discontent is a new framework for thinking, but it is waiting to be born. Find these people. Connect the dots. Then, spark a revolution.
