Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Picketty on Sanders and the rest
See this article, which references Piketty's piece
in The Guardian. Picketty sees Sanders are representing the end of the
Reagan era and a return to the era of "extremely progressive taxation
and social spending." From 1930 to 1970 the marginal tax rates on the
wealthy was on average 82%, which revenue went to building the New Deal
and Great Society. Sanders and the people's movement behind him wants
this return to equality and justice, but Clinton is "another heiress of
the Reagan-Clinton-Obama
political regime" that maintains Reaganomics.
