We are poised on a precipice of profound significance. On the one side is an entropic debt, destined toward our ultimate obscurity. On the other side is a path illuminated by a dim truth. It is a truth that perforates a reality constructed to prevent us from acknowledging our precarious position. It is a truth prodding at a revolution.



What we require are not nostrums, but to pursue normalcy.



But we do not perceive our position as on a precipice: For it is a precipice obfuscated by a fog of nostrums. Can we burn away the fog like the morning sun? Can we utilize our position here to survey substantial solutions to our ever imminent demise?

Yes! What we require are not nostrums, but to pursue normalcy.

We must reject plans that generate short-term prosperity, for they do nothing more than postpone and augment our troubles. To adopt such plans is like drinking absinthe to treat a cancer. In so doing, we slough off our responsibilities onto our posterity in favor of immediate comfort.

 

No! What we require are not nostrums, but to pursue normalcy.



And yet something much more than a critique of a broken system is necessary. To simply critique the system is to administer another nostrum, temporarily relieving one of his responsibility for the problem. The process of rectifying a problem is rarely pleasant for those involved, but this says nothing of the necessity of such a process.  Action beckons us to confront that which threatens to undermine and obliterate our Liberty.



What we require are not nostrums, but to pursue normalcy.



The surgeon's skillful mutilation is rarely desired, but is often preferred to ignorance. But ignorance is our current state of being — either by our own passivity or by malicious distortion by the Establishment. Instead, let us prefer a thoughtful engagement of our precarious position. Let us choose the scalpel over the Soma. Let us choose the chemo over the coma.

What we, the People, require are not nostrums, but to pursue normalcy.
