- My last submission was over 8 years ago.
I know a lot of people had their minds made up when it came to who was to blame for the DNC's stunning loss last year. Many people felt as though Bernie Sanders had been fed a raw deal, that had he been nominated he would have made the presidency with ease.
I tend to reserve judgement on that and defer to what to one of the most prominent free-thinkers of our time has to say...
Despite the nation feeling divided at this crucial time. Perhaps this will clear some minds in a way that I couldn't properly say as an outsider.
Stay hopeful, America
Its a little chaotic in the States right now and to all my American readers I would like to offer you my condolences, regardless of who you chose. Lets face it, neither Clinton or Trump were sterling choices yet nonetheless I'm shocked that such a man could take control of the highest office in the world. I fear that he will most likely backtrack a lot of progressive accomplishments that are good
I ain't dead yet!
So with what I could describe as a break from ponies finally over I can breath a bit more life back into my stories and, of course, give my followers a reason to keep following me. Which interestingly enough grows despite my inactivity.

Eh I don't know, Sam Harris is always a touch and go thing for me...I don't really find him that great a thinker in most aspects, but in others he is.
I'm far more for Noam Chomsky then Harris, Chomsky actually goes off ethics and moral reasoning, not "the best of two evils" arguments that I've seen Harris fall under on several issues. .
"Best of two evils"
This is why he supported Hillary Clinton, I believe. It's partly why I supported her too (over Sanders as well), and this had nothing to with the whole "never Trump" brigade. Honestly, America was ready for both of them.
Chomsky is a brilliant man who speaks volumes of truth on topics he is well versed in. Eg, linguistics. Where he starts to lose me is on Western foreign policy. It seems to me that he has a cursory understanding of this topic and falls close to being an Islamist apologist. There is moral reasoning, and then there are emotions. Chomsky may rely a bit too much on the latter. Sam on the other hand has no such scruples. To me this makes for rational discourse.
Politically speaking I'm a liberal who falls pretty close to the center leaning left, Chomsky seems to have gone off to the left a bit too much for me.
