 The world is a better place for me now. Not just because I wanted Trump to win, but because I now have hope that democracy is still in place.

 It nice to have small wins, and I consider it just that. There is a bigger problem in the world, and that won't be addressed by politics, or politics alone. It's a spiritual battle that has been going on for millennia.

 Technology is changing us. 

In many ways the march of technological development has been autonomous, without any clear direction. It has just been the combination of the efforts of many companies seeking profit maximisation.
