Politics is always …
Politics is always a lagging indicator: routinely shredding good ideas (and the people who lobby for them) for the sake of vested interests. I think Bucky was right: just focus on doing what you can to support and ensure eternal regenerativity … and share your ideas with others. Do not try to convince others (i.e., do not become political). Just offer the world options. If your ideas are not immediately accepted, work to improve the idea and recognize that ideas have gestation rates.
