TRS: Urgency without Agency


Listen Later

If you have ever seen the movies "The Core" or "127 Hours" you get to feel that moment where you realize there is no one coming and that you have no time to pat yourself on the back for all the pain and suffering... You simply must act. Sadly, there is a belief that there are better things to do, and it kills progress. People who are unequally yoked. Unequally committed. Do you think James Franco's character in 127 Hours would say "I should enjoy my volunteer work before amputating my foot"?nope. No fucking way. Many of us are alone in our fight for urgency, as the privileged continue to thrive and forget about the realities of society. Don't forget that someday, the consequences of our actions will catch up to us. It's important to take action and not ignore what needs to be done, as the system continues to bury us deeper.
