"I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset." - Langston Hughes In February, I traveled from New York City, where I live, to New Orleans to attend the Unrig the System Summit, a gathering of over 1,500 people from all 50 states, focused on how to reform our dysfunctional political system.

#1. "The fundamental assumptions of Western Civilization are valid." Jordan Peterson begins a lecture he gave last June: "12 principles for a 21st century conservatism" With the caveat: "I am not making the claim that the statement is perfect, comprehensive, or final." Good. Below I've transcribed an excerpt from his first principle above.
