In this essay, I was asked to compare 1987 to 2000 in the book Looking Backward and state which one is more realistic. I’m here to say that the 2000 is the less realistic time period in this story, by a lot. The fact that Bellemey thinks a socialist utopia is possible and not utter …

E8#155: Least Reasonable Part of Looking Backward
The least reasonable part of the novel so far is that competition in the economic market does not exist in the book. This doesn’t hold any water in all actuality, and is all fantasy. Today I’m going to dive into the details as to why this doesn’t work. The first major point I need to …

E8#145: Vote For Literally Anybody Else
Are you tired of exclusively ancient, incompetent men being at the top of American Politics? Do you want a normal person like you or I to be president instead of some creepy old geezers? Old men are not objectively good rulers. It makes more sense to have a president that doesn’t take almost half of …

E8#136: Laptops in School
(First I’m supposed to list the problems, then write paragraphs for each) Textbooks are really bulky and often heavy. It is not easy to have to carry around twenty pounds of books, when, in reality, you could just have a really light Macbook Air or other small laptop, which would be able to have all …

Public schools are run by the government. That means that the government is indoctrinating your children with what they …
E8#134: Free WiFi
Everybody uses WiFi every single day. At this point it seems like almost a human necessity, right? Shouldn’t the government provide it to us out of our taxpayer dollars, just like roads and certain utilities? WiFi means the internet, and, in this day and age, almost everybody uses the internet for one thing or another; …
E8#131: Thunderstorms are Dangerous
Thunderstorms are hazardous to your safety to be out in. With thunderstorms comes rain, wind, hail, and lightning. The rain can lower your visibility on the roads, and that is a hazard. Lightning will kill you if it strikes you, but is more dangerous when it strikes something else and then that falls on you, …
