This post describes some of a problem—a system, a self-sustaining pattern in society—that I think is of central importance in America today and that I’ve thought about for a while.
When I was younger, I saw the entire pipeline ahead of me, and thought:
Much of this seems silly, and unnecessarily cruel. Surely there’s an alternative, a better system for people like me. I exist, so statistically speaking there should be (and should have been) enough people like me that they could work together and create such alternatives. I don’t know what they are yet, but it seems like they should exist.
As it turned out, that line of thinking was wrong.
