I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this little essay. It was smart, incisive, and funny. Shawn doesn't pretend to have the answers but does offer a clear analysis of the "lucky" and "unlucky" in current society and why the underclass rises up in defiance. He recognizes that he is part of the "lucky" class. Overall, it's a meditation on the nature of right and wrong and whether humanity can profoundly course-correct to achieve a better world.
