Bonner recognizes the problems, but is unable to propose, not even to himself, a plausible or sensible solution. From that point, he adopts a rationalization that allows him to still feel good about his own self-image, what might be called the situation is beyond hope, throw in the towel or universal ostrich defense:

"What morons we were. We missed the point completely. It didn’t matter what we wanted. There was no more choice in the matter than a caterpillar has a choice about whether to become a butterfly. This was an important insight for us."

There is no question about the ship being on a course that will result in its sinking. Nor is anyone debating the momentum of a very large ship at substantial speed. I am not asking anybody to go down with the ship or to go down fighting, but as Burke (When good men do nothing..) teaches, the complete abandonment of the ship or of hope is equally irrational. Neither you nor Bonner appear to fear criticism, but most people are afraid to admit to themselves their own personal inadequacies and especially, their own failures.

Turning the tide and rescuing the United States Constitution is a tall order, a Herculean task, an impossible challenge. Are you or Bonner willing to risk personal failure by attempting to snatch the US from the jaws of death? I fear drowning as much as the next man, but swimming is analogous to riding a bike. I may not be nearly as clever as I think, but I am certainly not afraid to admit to myself that I can fail, even in public. I learned a long time ago to keep a bike upright. And I had an uncle who took a ten year old frightened boy in a rowboat into the middle of a lake and rowed away after throwing him overboard. Come on in; the water is fine. And the world needs my private digital gold currency. Between the Puplavas and Agora, it can keep a lot more of Pareto's twenty per cent that matters afloat when and if the ship does go down.

Whether you think so or not, the world needs saving and Bonner seems to agree, but as he so often points out about everybody but himself, nobody has a clue as to how. Talk to me; I think I know how.
