You can never go back to the imagined ideal. The imagined ideal is, just that. An imagined ideal. It is only a smattering of what was. It is never something that truly is. And it never will be anything beyond something that you brain imagined. Therefore, why bother spending so much time trying to get back to an imagined ideal, when you can live in the present moment and work your way forward from there?
It's not going to be utopia. Problems are still going to occur and suffering will be the defining feature of this world. Such is the nature of life and existence. The best we can do is make do with the problems that we have, and continue forward as best as we can with the empirical knowledge that we have about what causes what to happen, when push comes to shove.
It's about making policy less of a question of opinion or ideological belief, and more of a science where we can test the effects of our actions and our government's actions relative to the rest of the social, environmental, economical and cosmological world that's around us.
It's about leadership understanding its place relative to the rest of the world that actually is around it, and understanding the connection between its own effectiveness and its ability to stay in positions of power, authority, responsibility and consequence.
It's about the world that's around us.
And not what comes out of your brain.
Think about it.
Cause you're the ones who lose out when you don't.
And you don't need to believe me, in order for it to happen.
Think about it.
