The debauched ethics of all casino magnates, including Trump, define the dark, petulant heart of America. Our schools and libraries lack funding, our infrastructure is a wreck, drug addiction and suicide are an epidemic, and we flee toward the promise of magic, unchecked hedonism, and perpetual stimulation. 

There is a pathological need in America to escape the dreary and the depressing.

All cults are personality cults.

All cults are really extensions of whoever the cult leader is.

So, whatever the prejudices, the worldview and the ideas of the cult leader are

they will be chanted back to him by the crowd.

We spend billions of dollars looking for life on other planets,

and spend trillions of dollars killing this one.

In the absence of a clear understanding that we are now the only source, 

these images cannot help but return to the expression of magic and fear

proper to idolatrous societies.

365 7/30

A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power,

which mistakes management techniques for wisdom,

which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its

compassion, not its speed or ability to consume,

condemns itself to death.
