I’m a realist too that’s why I don’t accept that we can’t make a difference for good.

Patricia Blair - that's NOT how a "realist" thinks. The question of "accepting" doesn't arise for a "realist". A realist would use statistics, probability, and other methods to arrive at probability distributions on hypotheticals and confidence intervals on those analyses.

Chang you say you are a "realist" - so be it. You are definitely not a "dreamer".

We need both kinds for a Revolution.

YES - no world is possible without DREAMERS. But just dreamers only is not enough. Realists can help in guiding dreamers on their journeys to the common destinations that we all have.

Not this one. I use my RN sensitive insight.

Patricia - "sensitive insight" is anathema to "realist logic". Those words don't belong in that world. Realism has nothing to do with "sensitive" or "insensitive". And what is insight? Knowledge and a probability estimate on the accuracy of that knowledge.
