I read the petition. This seems reasonable and much needed. Good luck to you!

Reply to comment by WhipCityUrchin in Our state motto seems pretty cool compared to the others by ConceptualEconomist

Speaking as a Nebraskan, the state has an interesting progressive history. Nebraska and Kansas joined the union at a time when there was a big controversy over whether new states would be slaveholder or free. There was a huge conspiracy to vote in slaveholding in Kansas that Nebraska managed to steer clear of and join as an abolitionist state. The state capitol building has some really interesting progressive mottos all over it and the only unicameral nonpartisan state legislature. It's also the only state in which corporate agriculture cannot own farms or ranches and public power districts are the norm. Too bad it's so solidly red right now.

Reply to comment by DBSN_Reddit_Version in A cross between an Existentialist and an Old Testament prophet, Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard urged his "single individual" reader to follow the "highest passion" of faith rather than becoming one of the stereotyped pseudo-individuals of "The Crowd" by thelivingphilosophy

I don't read Kierkegaard, but that headline makes it sound like a major part of his philosophy is "Don't be like all the rest! Be exceptional!" Like every Instagram influencer ever. This doesn't sound deep or useful to me. It sounds kinda toxic. You can't change the world with exceptional outliers. Is it a badly written headline? Or bad philosophy?
