There is a bedrock of intelligence and love that lies at the very bottom of all those strata of anger and fear that make up the world. That is where we came from, and that is where we belong.

The children really are our future, and sometimes they actually are the change they wish to see in the world. Maybe they will even win the war against the robots. Or maybe they will just resist becoming robots themselves. That would be magnificent.

I know a prolonged habit of w-sitting is associated with autism. I think what happened is, because I was born in the 70’s, I’m not autistic, but most of my kids are. It happens! https://t.co/S0ded5LDti
Money is a necessary evil. De-monetizing the world and our talents and our relationships, whenever we can, is a great way of making the world less evil. And not simply less evil: More kind. God knows we need that.

Every time I mention getting rid of wild blackberry, somebody goes, “oohhhh, I wish I had that problem!” Fine! I believe you! Please come and get them. We have 423 million of them, and the one thing they hate is for anything else to grow.

It's not the first time we've gotten a call from school informing us a child has engaged in muttering.
Their father is Irish and their mother is Ashkenazi. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, Fishers gotta mutter about who’s gonna die. It’s our patrimony
