“We are officially too stupid to actually understand the impact of the laws, agreements, contracts and delusions we enact as culture. We are not building democracy, a republic, or consensus. We are being remade in the ironic and ridiculous image of statements in dead language whose monumental stasis lags a thousand years behind our modern concerns, crises, needs, and dreams. We have become the extensions of dead words. Shapes in ink, on pages dusty and arcane. We march, like their soldiers now, against our world, ourselves, each other, and every hope of a sustainable or fulfilling future. This is the news from the front. May it change soon, dramatically, and forever.”
