Pipe dreams Democracy, justice, equality… those are just pipe dreams. No society, in the history of humankind, has ever achieved those.
Goodwill Until social justice, workers’ rights, etc., are no longer dependent on the goodwill of those in power, we won’t have any.
Justice The poetic justice of life: no matter who you are, no matter what you do, you’re going to die. That should set you free.
Constructs Fairness, justice, generosity… are human constructs. Nature respects only selfishness and opportunity.
