Taking "why can't we all just get along?" literally

a huge chunk of my work could be described as de-rhetoricalizing the question "why can't we all just get along?" to take it seriously and give a thorough answer why can't we all just get along?

and no it's not because there isn't enough along to go around. there's plenty and we can make more. the issue is organizing it.

the realization "it's all love" is cheap the realization that there are better and worse ways to organize that love, but no final best way, and that it's up to all of us to figure out together how to do it... that's worth something. we can build with that.
