I am an absolute wreck today. I feel duped. I honestly bought into the promise of the "American Dream".
I tried to do what I could to help (even in the simple act of voting) to save Democracy. I was convinced that this country was equitable and fair and that ultimately our collective common good would win. What a fool I feel like today.
Me, a black man, knowing and studying the history of this country was still fooled into believing this is a land for me. I fucked around and found out.
@georgetakei typical conversation between my wife and I:
Wife: go get ready, we are doing X today.
Me: what? You never told me about this before.
Wife: I specifically discussed it with you at exactly four PM yesterday. And before that on Monday I said I want to do it and you agreed to.
Me (truthfully): I do not recall any of those conversations.
Wife: I am going to start recording our conversations.
Got some Yubikey's in today.
Me:
New York Times today.
Me in 2012.
People ask why there are futurists.
It's because we tell what is obviously going to happen long before everyone else does. And it's not hard. It's obvious.
