Would love to chat US politics when you are back in town, not from the standpoint of right/wrong but more from the possibilities that one can imagine given the historical reality.

In other words, I need help imagining a better world.

@monkey1 I'd be happy to. Have you read Plato's Republic?

@neauoire

Yes, I've read it a couple of times. Happy to re-read: what should I be looking for?

@monkey1 I really like the lottery as a base for politics. I've just finished reading Kristen Ghodsee's Everyday Utopia, it helps understand some aspects of Plato's ideas in Republic, I remember not quite getting what Plato meant by organizing row houses like soliders camps, well worth a read if you're looking into alternatives arrangements of humans. Also, The Dawn Of Everything, but you've probably read that one already.
