Will Reason

@mattfahrner @scottsphoto1218 If poverty isn’t kept miserable, you know, people will have no reason at all to improve themselves and achieve great things - so believe the people who have never experienced poverty and have always had a safety net, and who have education and achievement anyway. It’s awful.

@leviathan_bound Ahhh! That's "intimation" in the creative process. It always follows "incubation" -- so congratulations. https://t.co/vkGaPTtkW2 (original source of concept is "The Art of Thought" by Graham Wallas, from 1926)

@guy_si @sebastiangozin @chris_hurney Names and faces change, stories continue, but a lot of the best things from then carry on. It’s maybe hard for this generation to realize, but the push for clean power (solar, hydro, nuclear) was started in my parents’ generation, and their parents. It’s still growing.

@patmaddox :-) BTW: I had a book of the complete works of Abraham Lincoln. Early on, he really tried to write in a sophisticated, flowery way. He worked against his humble beginnings and featured his self-education. Later he relaxed into it, and was both literate and folksy.
