Finally had a chance to read you this morning when I woke up. All I wanted to do after was curl back in bed. I had not been following England news and now I’m alarmed by what you explained. As to the rest of what’s going on, I left frustrations behind and was enveloped by an overwhelming fog of depression and despair. How did civilized societies get here? How do I confront such degradation and suffering? I am losing hope for the future of my children and grandchildren. Pls address AI next. I don’t fully comprehend how it works but feel it’ll have a huge impact on us that could be negative if not used properly…. Thank you for delivering and deciphering the state of the world for us.

It is all very depressing and disconcerting; I think what I'm trying to do here is try to show a throughline of how these things happen and what could be a response to this. For example, when I see a situation that is going on in Labour in the UK with Keir Starmer, I look towards who are our Starmer's? I look at people like Rahm Emanuel, Andrew Cuomo, Gavin Newsom etc. These are people who have no broader vision than their perceived image, what they think they are owed, and ego. There is no broad mission they serve and they have no intention of building something that is focused on a international movement to combat the right-wing. They just serve their own personal aspirations. Meanwhile, the right-wing has been building a very successful international project. We have to decipher between what can lead us out of this position and the many who are obstacles, besides the obvious ones.
