What's the correct interpretation and the common misunderstanding?

I thought Entomology was the study of treebeard and his friends

I'm pretty sure he's being very effective. This was the goal for him.

What exactly did he do? Did he not fund a genocide? Did he not force rail workers to not strike? Did he not keep saying the economy is good while homelessness and medical debt continued to get out of control?

Edit: all your down votes demonstrate why the Democrats lost the election. You can't just ignore the voters and expect them to still vote for you.

Give yourself permission to be unproductive. Life is about more than busting your ass.

Lol I'm a leftist. If you want to be productive, you can't push everyone out. You have to find common ground. Our society is breaking. Communism has plenty to offer most MAGA people. They just need to see it.

Society doesn't prioritize knowledge for it's own sake. It prioritizes making money. If society was different, more people could pursue hard sciences.

Ok but that's a reductive view of human beings. Average MAGA folks are uneducated and propagandized, but they aren't evil and viewing them as such feeds into the culture war.

You need to construct a vision of society that allows both to succeed. Everyone is struggling these days and you need to construct a society that values all people.

I've been reading Dune so I don't have to read the news

I just throw my hands up and think "if I need to remember it, something will remind me, hopefully before it's not too late"
