It is dumb, in the extreme, to persistently turn up the heat and then wonder why it's so hot up in this place.

Not a single bit of this heat sheds light on a goddamn thing.

I have a suggestion. Perhaps we might talk and think. With just a touch more humility. And, perhaps, genuinely listen. Rather than continue on our stupid route to nowhere.

Sometimes we just have to fuck up long enough to finally come square about our failures.

If we ever really want to succeed, at anything, that is.
