    Always irked me, the term “trickle down”. It implies the masses are only deserving of whatever slips through from the ceiling above…

    “Look, kids! This slow drip from the ceiling under this lake has created a small puddle. In thousands of years from now, this puddle will be much larger. Possibly a pond! Imagine that, a pond!”

    “But you said there’s a lake above us?”

    “That’s a private lake. Trespassers will be shot.”


  • We’re meant to live in groups of like 50 or something, and trusting elders made sense because their survival was tied to the survival of everyone in the group.

    Now we’re in groups of millions and still believing what people of authority have to say because “why would they lead us astray? Surely their survival depends on our ability to thrive, too? Right? Guys?”
