> “When climate change deniers claim that global warming is a plot to redistribute wealth, it's not (only) because they are paranoid. It's also because they are paying attention.” - Naomi Klein [This][1] makes me want to teach my kids to **STOP BEING SO OBEDIENT** and get everything they can from the complacent bastards at the top. The tricky part, from my perspective, is strategy. How to balance sneeaking up through "the system" with reckless rebellion. Maybe from their perspective that balance will evolve more naturally than my backwards-looking, indoctrinated, slightly fat mentality would expect. Can we let go of the distinction, just for a moment, between "teach" and "decide not to discourage from exploring"? Okay? Then I can have the courage to say outright, I want to teach them how to shoot, how to defend, how to kill, how to steal, how to survive. I want to teach them how to say **FUCK YOU** to anybody, at any time. Brutish, violent humanity will never be "enlightened;" any enlightenment we can concieve is always bounded by our own [essential selfishness][2].
