Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry. Daddy?
I would die for this man, kill for him, kill myself for him, everything. Not a single thing he says is unfounded or incorrect. Imagine, forming a system for governing people by actually paying attention to their wants and needs! Imagine! Literally every day I am devastated that he was made a pariah.

Very interesting. Lots of intriguing ideas and a fascinating blend of practical actionable ideas and more visionary ideals, but always with an insistence on their inherent practicality (if people would just realize Owen’s main point—that all bad things are tied to ignorance and we can shape the character of humanity to be whatever we want through some educational efforts). The missionary zeal and evangelization that seems inherent in Owen’s theoretical framework is fascinating given the way that he is explicitly uninterested in religion (and views it with great suspicion, though also taking some core Christian ideas and arguing that you don’t need the Christian framework to make them work and that they actually work better outside Christianity). The religiosity of his ideas on the whole is interesting (as is the way that he situates himself towards religion). There’s also some interesting proto-restorative justice sorts of ideas at work here, I think.
