"... remember to expect the unexpected, but
not just to wait for it.
Sometimes you have to become the unexpected..."
Rebecca Solnit:"The Butterfly and the Boiling Point"
Tyrrany; and
misallocation of resources
(not absolute scarcity)
"Oppression often works -- for a while. And then it backfires. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after several decades. ...[It] isn't just about tyranny; it's about economic injustice, about young people who can't find work, can't afford to get married or leave their parents' homes, can't start their lives. This is increasingly the story ..., and here it's clearly a response to the misallocation of resources, not absolute scarcity. It could just be tragic, or it could get interesting when the young realize they are being shafted, and that life could be different. Even that it could change, quite suddenly, and for the better."
