Today I learned that Lord of the Flies was a novel responding to the more positive Coral Island. Golding didn’t like positive messages about kids since he preferred trying to rape them or stage fights between them. Neither book is accurate to what happens in real life. Bregman’s Humankind.

I’ve had this conversation with people. They say “but people want big cars” and won’t accept that marketing, subsidies, and availability are what lead to this not their “wants”. There is also an unwillingness from many to imagine change. Just want it to happen. So activists have to push for better.
