Hope is a state of mind, not a state of the world. . . .Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.
An ‘elevator pitch for the end times’, if you will. I agreed to try and said: “Humanity is really screwed, so let’s slow down, help each other, be nicer to animals and nature, defend freedom, grow food, play more, be open-minded about what might help and forgive ourselves.”
