The fall of a society built upon stringent individualism (I don‘t care how, but I‘m going to get mine and advance myself at the cost of all others) is foretold time and again in history. Maybe everyone in power in America needs to read this book before it‘s too late (and when they‘re done they can open the damn government again).

brilliantglow I have this book, it's quite an interesting read. 5y
GingerAntics @brilliantglow I greatly enjoyed it, especially all of the appendices. 5y
readinginthedark They could open the government if they even just thought unselfishly about the premise for five minutes. 😒 5y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark right? I‘m not sure they‘re capable of thinking selflessly for any duration. 5 minutes probably seems like an eternity from their angle. 🙄 Besides, whatever they come up with, the one guy is going to have to really step out of his entire personality to think of anyone other than himself. 5y
readinginthedark Ugh, truth. 😞 5y
