State of America: A Republic of Infection. We Won’t Algorithm Our Way Out (10/9/25)
I hit pause yesterday—not because I had nothing to say, but because I needed to hear the room breathe. Tonight I’m telling you what I feel about America right now: a republic running a fever. We’re infected—socially, morally, informationally, even physically. Poisoned rivers and exhausted bodies. Dashboards that blind public servants while private power sees everything—a culture sprinting on a treadmill that sells us back our numbness.
This is not a stump speech. It’s a charge. Restore truth as a public good. Rebuild the civic middle. Choose attention as a discipline. Tie power to place. Practice mercy with a spine. We won’t algorithm our way out of this; we have to human our way through. If this moved you, share it—and then do one serious thing for your community this week.
