You don’t have to be a fantasy writer to cook up really daft stuff. In fact, the “real” word is awash in fantasy.
Of course, any time you start drifting toward “Man is basically good, it’s only our institutions that need tweaking,” you begin to take leave of sanity.
Wanting something to be true doesn’t make it so.
You got that right. You can want in one hand and whistle In the other, see which gets full sooner (an old saying of my dad’s)
How about this one: “You can be whatever you want to be.” Um, no. There’s such a thing as reality. (Oops, pardon me. I forgot that “we construct our own realities.”)
They used to call that lunacy.
It still is.
There is no original sin and no hell because Darwin scientists say so and you are not allowed to disagree with it because it is settled science.
