folly-ticking

i'm in the middle of a strains drinking session right now but i just am so bothered by this response to Mr. Harvey Keh's Open Letter by a fellow SciHi alumni calling it a "sophomoric diatribe" that i just had to react.

and so i replied:
"...and so the task, i guess, is to figure out a way to repackage, re-communicate, re-express this idealistic i-can-we-can-change-the-world mindset. Especially 'cause i still think it's a kind of mindset we still need thanks to...the harsh realities we face...."

we try
with debates where most senatoriables wouldn't show up
with parallel quick counts that get too easily tainted with controversy
with drinking sessions that discuss the root of folly-tics
with smiles
with prayers
with hope

knowing that the "messianic" may come off as "condescending" and that the "idealistic" may come of as "unthinking fanatics" who belong to an "Ateneo/Keh fan club"

where's the sophomoric diatribe now?

and sadly that aint the question we ought to ask.
it's the question we ought to forget
'cause there are a whole range of questions we are better off talking about
