The fact is that everything moves at light speed these days and everyone is attention deficient. The way to fight back is to create better sound bites;

The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

When the medium enabling markets is privately held, we are all tenant farmers to the banks.

Money is a medium, like roads, air, water, etc. Blood is a medium, fat is a store. Should they be confused?

They only job those flunkies have, is creating the debt the banks need to function. What they do with it is irrelevant to those pulling the strings. So we have delinquent children playing cowboys and indians on the other side of the planet, while the country rots.

Democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The family as godhead. To the Ancients, monotheism equated with monoculture. One people, one rule, one god. The Romans adopted a monotheistic sect as state religion as the Empire was rising from the ashes of the Republic, basically because The Big Guy Rules.

Logically a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the light shining through the film, than the images and narratives played out on it. Ideals are not absolutes and the philosophers should have been all over that centuries ago, but here we are, still obsessed with the totem poles at the center of our own cults and cursing the rest.

Good and bad are not some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, but the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. We live in that spectrum and feedback between light and dark.
