conspiracy theorists think the government is carrying out a sinister, long term plan. it's not. it's carrying out hundreds, maybe thousands of sinister short term plans
@drewtoothpaste @glyph
The government is us, we are - consciously or not - carrying out thousands of sinister short term plans
@drewtoothpaste
Local governments are not where the power resides in these times.
@drewtoothpaste Oh and no one driving the train...
@drewtoothpaste Close! Don't think "short term", think "small change." The classic example is Project Mogul; a small redaction was sufficient to kick-start an entire UFO craze.
@drewtoothpaste Some of these short term plans are being counteracted by other, even-shorter term plans.
