Ah, rants. Hm. I do that from time to time, too. Still, I think the
right idea is to de-emphasize our take on what's wrong and emphasize
the good shit, like how very sexy craftsmanship is, and how very
appealing bright, courteous and generous people are. In other words,
marginalize, rather than revile and celebrate the morally debased. I
am unhip to contemporary popular culture, but there must be some cool
fokes out there to rave about. I meet nice people whenever I go to
town, and some truly wise, emotionally generous people at that.

I think you're right, Michael. He needs to step a-wayy from the Palantir.
