Confront Tyranny

One has to only watch the many videos of revolutions in the past 1.5 years to become justifiably frightened.  I can only fight back the tears as military police publicly rape women protestors in Egypt, shoot live ammunition that kills their fellow country-persons, graze over the extensive list of martyrs to the democratic cause all over the world, etc etc.  
This breeds thoughts in my mind that point to the potential violence in the USA if we were to follow a similar course to many regions in social/political/economic upheaval.  I am not a pacifist but I do not want to see familiars pitted against familiars when the world has potential to be such a beautiful place. 
Today I am providing links to videos that some may deem "inspirational".  Whatever it is, I hope it propels you into positive #directAction that does more to construct creatively than to destroy and agitate without due cause.
Do not be afraid, do not back away -- confront tyranny!

A point to remember before the rant: I am not against dualism's or always see them in a critical light but many remain solidified in our day and create a whole lotta drama and polarization.

Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit

New piece by David Graeber titled, "Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit" is a must read, especially for techies, Trekkies and geeks (oh my!).  
In the future when we analyze this contemporary age with hindsight it will be easy to say what, "should have been done".  We can't necessarily know that, but after reading this piece I stand by creativity being our greatest ally.  Create (it's OK if it's replication of previous known technology, etc.) systems that foster sustainability with all things.  Sound too moo-poo???  Here's a "profound" example: start a garden!!!
'Creativity', not cynicism and paranoia should be the motivator for development/invention/evolution of technologies and systems.
