I slept quite a bit. I was out for hours. To wake up is a huge transition. The mellow, sad, queer inner world is now gone. How to make the transition, going from the soft inner space of sleep to the refined hardness of politics as usual in America?
The world as it actually stands (well except for 9/11) is yellow. And it is hard.
I tumble, out of bed, and into Akido position! That is how I do it.
Now my gears are crunching and I am ready to dive off the edge of a cliff — rallying, sailing, flying the sky/ outstretch arms I mean wings.
But when sleep fully fails I am here in the mundane world.
…with the products on the shelf. I shall pick out: which one for the day.

We knew how to have fun in a way that greedy billionaires do not know how to have fun. They think making money is a big deal. They are competitive. They want to get more of one thing: money. Some persons have a belief in the tooth fairy and some persons believe in money.

Putting a monetary value on intellectual work is something superfluous—superfluous to the work. Essentially, intellectual work tells us who we are, why we should struggle, and what our place is in the universe.
The universe does not have a monetary interest or monetary value as quantity. But neither do a lot of things. Neither does real estate Neither real estate nor intellectual work has a monetary value.
Having a night out is fine. But having a right to a piece of land forever is absurd It’s just totally freaking stupid. The state should have access to 5-10% of every piece of landed property so it can be ensured against harm
That would control the arrogance of these land holders. Real estate is a piece of the universe and the universe is owned by all.
All
But with 5-10% of every individual’s ownership in lands it would become that much easier for the government to declare eminent domain for any purpose it wanted.
