508<ul>
509<li>Being politically misinformed is tantamount to voting against your own interests (historically one may have been misinformed with their vote unimpacted… the dual reality inversion breaks this).</li>
510<li>Being politically uninformed leaves you vulnerable (as it has always done) to gut-voting against your own interests.</li>
511</ul>
512<p>where voting against one’s own interests carries the following characteristics, itself, for the first time since I became voter eligible:</p>
513<ul>
514<li>Successfully voting against your own interests will make your life noticeably worse short term.</li>
515<li>Successfully voting against your own interests will fuck your legacy up long term, forcing your children’s generation to redirect their efforts away from progress into national trauma recovery.</li>
516<li>Successfully voting against your own interests could feasibly contribute to constitutional collapse and uncivil war.</li>

563<p>What follows is the progress made on the rewrite of an essay from February 2021 that, once completed, shall comprise the book explaining all the sh$t some other f$&amp;ker really oughta have figured out by now. Be better American intellectuals.</p>

567<h2 id="what-i-suppose-wed-call-the-preamble">What I Suppose We'd Call the Preamble</h2>
568<p>Honestly, I haven't a clue why, in February of last year, I found myself pondering the web of dragon mythology that so ensnares the imagination of man. Of how the machinations of my mind materialized the path it would then travel, I've an even clumsier grasp. I believe there is something significant to be found within the folds of fumbled expression held by the essay I had composed. Now, a year later (finding myself in possession of more diversely and formidably equipped faculties), I shall recompose its art and prose, hoping to attain a composition that more capably communicates that which I have to say. It shall begin with a declaration. It shall end with an appeal. Two waypoints shall lie between the beginning and the ending. With a little luck, journey's end shall bring clarity to the both of us as to how and why the path was chosen.</p>
