In between snowmageddons, icypocalypses, and other such shenanigans by nature, my main concern is that humans simply don’t seem to be capable of governing themselves. Each US Administration seems worse than the last, Congress is a dysfunctional mess, state and local governments aren’t a lot better. Worse, society has become fragmented in to camps armed with their own incompatible versions of reality and no longer talk to one another – they just shout and call each other names. The international situation is little better, with so-called “democracies” across the globe doing things previously reserved for authoritarian regimes. Why is this, and what can we do about it?

The discussion honestly gave me new thoughts on much of what was discussed. Thanks for sharing.
