any occasion where (eg)
a shyster lawyer
wins an ignoble victory
and let's classify the flavors
of cunning injustices
and map onto them a spectrum of colors
and then color all branches on the worldtree
wherever they're suffering
those flavors of injustice
and mark with a star
those rare noble victories
when a cunning injustice
is corrected
by right argument
and let's calculate
the projected collective social value
of a new dispensation
of right argument
worldwide
and let's weigh the possibility
of such a dispensation
necessarily following from the articulation
of a truly scientific understanding
of human psychology
while the shysters scramble
to fill that void with cant
and let's ponder the paradox in capitalism
that research is only funded
proportionally to its near-term
profit potential
so how does that search begin?
how much would you gamble
on a longshot?
