Search results for Tax rates in the US in the 1950s. The table shows that from 19-4-1963, a time period of great prosperity that many want to hark back to, has a tax rate of 91%. Ergo, we should tax those billionaires and companies 91 percent and we could perhaps have another great age of prosperity? Makes you wonder.
A very funny passage from the book Texts from Jane Eyre about Plato: Plato Okay Gauscon so I want you to picture a cave full of prisoners who have been in the cave their whole lives and they're shackled in a line facing the back wall My god what a nightmare, those poor people OK, no. I mean yes, its terrible, but that's not the point. anyhow they're shackled so they can only look at the back wall. They can't move their heads. What monster would do this And there's a fire behind them A FIRE IN THE CAVE. MY GOD. THESE POOR SOULS. WE MUST RESCUE THEM. no its just, its just a thought experiement. I want to talk about epistemonology. WHAT FOUL SPIRIT WOULD CHAIN HUMAN BEINGS UNDER THE EARTH LIKE HADES no one. no one. They're just there. WE MUST MAKE HASTE. THESE SHACKLED CITIZENS CANNOT FREE THEMSELVES Its an allegory. The cave is just an allegory IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS THE WORK OF A KNAVE AND A BRIGAND. AND I SHALL NOT REST UNTIL HE IS DEAD

Facebook post from 12 years ago: Last night I dreamt that I went through a portal to another world which was perfect! The scenery was amazing - near the top of snow covered mountains, trees with autumn coloured leaves and manicured gardens; beautiful sunshine. There were no social.problems and everyone was happy. Total utopia. But there was one thing wrong; NO MUSIC ALLOWED. I had to sneak into an old building to listen to some records on a turntable ( Elvis costelli) after which i was walking down the street and had to hide my earphones because they were proof that I was a music listener. Once the secret music got out, the world started falling apart.
