The app for independent voices

I am almost 74 and recently labelled autistic. I have no idea what left and right are when I have no idea of context. Where am I standing? If I am standing in Quebec Bernie Sanders is too my right if I am standing inside Washington's beltway Donald Trump is on my extreme left. America has not taught its children well. I have friends in low places and I have friends in high places. They tell me me the only thing I need to know is what Bauhaus once taught. Form follows function. They tell me that if America seems totally dysfunctional it is because it is made to seem totally dysfunctional. My great passion is satire Irving Layton 1912-2006 is my favourite satirist but nobody really cares who he is. Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain are second and third in no particular order and Pearls before Swine and Calvin and Hobbes are particularly insane philosophers. I am extremely lucky to have had Borat as a best friend and spiritual adviser. Justin Trudeau could have spent his life hunting tigers in Nepal instead of studying martial arts and living and teaching drama in a Montreal inner city working class neighbourhood. He is 50 years old he has spent half his adult life learning to be human so he could play Marcus Aurelius on TV. I can't control words. I speak in metaphors and I am learning how to write. I am a slow learner. The press can't write truth about Justin Trudeau because it cannot understand Justin Trudeau. The press cannot tell us the truth because the press has no knowledge of what truth is. America has enough scientists, technicians, engineers and mathematicians. It is up to the eyeballs in Sophists but it is starving for Socratics. Without Socratics there is no Western Civilization. The USA is Western but it sure ain't civilized.
