i know i'm being naive, but until our society does things the right way, for
the good of all instead of for profit at the expense of the
masses/environment, things will be fucked.   we are all in this together!

tesla had the right idea - thinking about it as a holistic integrated part
of human/environmental culture/co-habitation.. NOT as control and profit by
a few over the many.  this capitalst mindset will be our downfall, we need
to realize we are all in the same boat
