All of the same Machine … (02/13/2018)

 

“Empire is a massive thing, and not easily fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity — and a hundred other insidious factors. It has been going on for centuries, and it is too massive and too Machiavellian a movement to stop.  Ti fight Empire is to have it defend itself and grow stronger, and yet withdrawing from Empire – removing as much of our energy and our attention and our money as we can – will hasten the great day inevitable when Empire caves in on itself and crumbles.” ~ inspired by Isaac Asimov
