Yes, the Abramson essay is dense and interesting. But seems to me a tad fevered. Something to keep in mind: Sociopaths of the Putin-Trump variety, whether consciously or not, seek to set us off balance, loose touch with the quiet still center, entangle us in their nuttiness. We must avoid allowing this to happen. Also, I would guess that the writer is an ultra-materialist, and might fail to take into account the human spirit, which can, sometimes, accomplish mighty and unexpected feats. No, hope's not a strategy, but is an essential element of the struggle. Stay calm and carry on.
