But there are times when you have to call a spade a spade and a highschool dropout a moron.

This happened a few times but I didn't bother to quote them as I'm on my phone.

You edited the post?

This is not the work of heroes. This is a project anyone and everyone has to engage. And so while the rock star cheesiness is in the video in part because it’s playful (do you really think Danny Clinch included that because he thinks it looks cool?), and in part as a juxtaposition with how serious the problems that face us are. But I think it may also be meant to signify that there aren’t heroes that are going to make this better. There aren’t 20 people that are going to sit down in a room and solve our problems. Nor is it enough for some celebrity to draw attention to these things, since in the end a celebrity is just some silhouetted asshole jumping up and down in front of a blue screen. After all, we frequently get this footage from within a TV in the video, implying that we’re passively being dictated to, or that being a spectator is not enough. If the world is going to save itself, we’re going to have to roll up our sleeves, all of us, and get to work.

Honestly, all of a sudden I got bored with that dude, he seems to be a dimwit really. So I edited my post to what really matters.

I never edit posts. It makes the post look weak.

For what it's worth, I think you've been in top form with your posts the past few days.
