When I'm president, I'm going to spend every dicking dollar on education, so the masses understand that a single person doesn't make as much difference to 360M people as those 360M We the People do to themselves.

My twelfth grade English teacher told me the machines are broken, they just don't know they're broken, so the bigger machine made of machines grinds on. There's a scene in the matrix about this, how the average person is so dependent on the matrix they will fight to defend it.

What truly is possible to the human form? Society is 1776 updated to 2026. What if we just started fresh, what would we make and be then? Would it be 1776 2.0, or something else entirely? I think of democracy afforded in the modern day where only a republic was good enough before with the communication potential available then.
