much less improvisation in music
languages designed by academics
less theaters, more cinemas
places of worship increasing in size
almost no local art, literary, poetry, philosophy
less participation in government
impossible to negotiate with or bribe police
powerful live far away
global brands gaining in everything
no local methods in solving problems
and many many more

how much can we trust governments
which only a generation ago
were coercively sterilizing mothers,
and we know it takes a generation
to uncover a horror like that,
and there has not been a generation
which has not uncovered a horror?
