Do you have hope? Â
It's OK if your answer is "No" because you are not the only one. In fact, there is very little hope in our nation these days because the institutions which were meant to help us hope have failed us. Hope used to be infrastructural, but now it isn't. We are left to manufacture it privately and most of us can't.Â
Here is a great metaphor to understand where we are. Have you ever heard of amblyopia? This is procedure that eye doctors use to help strengthen a lazy eye. You don't fix a lazy eye by exercising it gently. The doctor patches the good eye and forces the weak one to work. Hope and imagination are our lazy eye. The strong eye has been doing all of the seeing.Â
“With the wrong metaphor, we are deluded; with no metaphor, we are blind”— Jonathan Haidt.
