		<description><![CDATA[At the death of dreams
I was there at the funeral.
Hope was veiled in black,
Looking not long of this world.
Peace drew wheezy, broken breaths,
And Love sobbed heavy, stinging tears
That stained the ground before Sadness.
Solemnity presided over the ceremony,
Stoic, his upper lip stiff.
The choir sang, led by Grief and Mourning.

They serve a fairly trivial purpose to the posts, but I still consider them fairly essential to the proceedings.

		<description><![CDATA[My history is rather bare now, and previously felt rather intellectually monochromatic, so in order to pad my archives by leeching off genuine contributors bring some diversity of thought to the blog, I have decided to start featuring videos that inspire me.
Today, it&#8217;s Jared Diamond talking to TED about why societies collapse.

		<description><![CDATA[False assumption of mutual exclusivity is a problem which I find both very annoying and very common. Dualistic structures that are either &#8216;A&#8217; or &#8216;B&#8217;, never neither nor both, can be very blinkering, and potentially very dangerous.
