Life on this planet is feeling increasingly
complicated lately. Have you noticed?
To a certain degree, modern society has
always been this way. Rules, paperwork
bureaucracy. Life should be simpler.

Thoreaus’s quote is not meant to suggest
that we should have no order in society.
However, when the mechanisms that hold
it in place are bloated and corrupted,
we must re-examine how we’re doing it.
I am positive, humanity is capable of doing
much better than this. Question is, will we?
