we drank the dream when they told us they were the land of the free and for a while we believed them until they were all held hostage by one man and he said
"if I give you one message to hold in your hearts today, it's this: treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation, relish the opportunity to be an outsider because it's the outsiders that change the world and who will make a real and lasting difference, the more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead you must keep pushing forward"
"In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people mistakenly assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence."
We're high and drunk and on our fourth night or fifth day and we, like the man in the big white house and someone tells the story of how it once burnt and and we feel the lingering smoke before we refill the bowls and giggle and laugh and we, like the man in the big white house tell lies and yarns and stories and do not concern ourselves with sobering fact but as we think we discover we go into it politically and we feel our minds and brains kick and scream because we won't go there, we won't go over the lawn to the big white man in the big white house because it's burning, it's still burning and we hear the screams we see the children running from the village as the big white planes drop napalm and flyers(no room for food or supplies) and the man outside who spoke words we would have loved in a different context, he is burning
