Using the metaphorical (or maybe literal) model of ideas as living things - there should be conditions we can create to nurture an ecosystem of beneficial ideas. Like making a garden or farm.

Not just thinking about transmission method (memes, books, songs, art, gatherings) but also having a defined, intentional and continued program of evaluating ideas and spreading ideas.

    Science and education have both become (have always been?) politicized. Certain groups are incentivized to hamstring education at every opportunity in order to keep the churches full and the voters red.

    The solution… we need to get those fuckers out of power. Voting works when voting works, but that’s obstructed and gerrymandered to oblivion, so… idk, break out the ol’ guillotine and start providing some free cervical spinal decompressions to our oligarchs?
