ive been getting into our hunter gatherer history and the idea of ooga booga woman abandoning a disabled baby is not true. we took care of our disabled individuals so vehemently. baby abandonment actually exploded AFTER that. when we had nothing we took care of each other but now that we have everything we die on the streets.
i feel like i owe everything to everyone and i want to help people. when i talk to my friends i feel better. i dont want us to be divided. i think about inmates in jail and i dont understand why they have to stay locked and have no friends. etc.
God, it makes me so hopeful to think of the future “homo sovieticus”. People will really look at our era and see the behaviours of today as desecrable and lost in the past as we see slavery in antiquity.
Yep, revolutionary optimism is a constant companion! Plenty of reason to be hopeful if you look for it.
