Simplistic social theories build on things as they are
I build mine on things as they are not
A world not just skews things big time
A world not fair becomes warlike
A world not well designed becomes dysfunctional
The notion you can adjust this society and achieve more than illusory change is specious
For example policies to reduce crime
Come come we have merely increased protection
And amplified our prison population
A society that tackles the root problems will change the fundamentals of design, economics, community and values
It will build on tolerance democracy helpfulness and non-idolatry
It will build models of integral community where all the elements of a city are within a mile walk of everyone
It will build at densities which make the rise of local economies natural
It will accept the notion that a thoughtful human being need have no "discipline" to contribute to the conversation
It will take every shred of corporate dehumanization and transform it into a localized face opportunity for the re-employment of all
