And I thought I was the cynic!

“Will power” is not a thing.

When Free Will is not a thing, “Will power” is a joke, but we have a very strong illusion of free will and I live my life like I have free will because “I feel like it” and there is more utility on this side of the aisle.

The “American dream” really is not accessable to everyone how it’s traditionally laid out.

I love America as an Indian, the First and the Second Amendments, the separation of church and state, the spirit of Innovation and Science, the rebel spirit, the history (except some things of c) and the whole shebang! Gimme, some of that, please!

I know the “American dream” isn’t really accessible if you’re really downtrodden, but it’s a hell of a deal from where I stand. A friend of mine had something witty to say about " the Indian dream", when I asked him about it, he said “The Indian dream is to live the American Dream” lol!
