If you know Vonnegut, perhaps you know the concept of a karass. Tonight I saw a lot of old co-workers, people who were there when I started a new chapter of my life, and them as well. There was a lot of mutual understanding that we had some kind of special chemistry together. I think that was a karass. And now that the last one has left the company, I still had no trouble saying see you next time. We will see each other again. We are a karass.

Posted 7 years ago today: "It strikes me Trump and his followers exactly fit #Vonnegut's definition of a false #karass aka #granfallon as set out in his novel Cat's Cradle. In that book, his fictional prophet Bokonon in the novel Cat's Cradle as defines a karass--a true karass--as "a team of people who do God's Will without ever discovering what they are doing." A false karass is called a granfallon, defined as "a seeming team that is meaningless in terms of the way God gets things done." "

Where's my #karass?
