>> sara: i didn't focus on william smith, let me say. i focused a little bit more on john and abigail together in that chapter. you raised this question essentially of what we talk about as the odyssey. how could a good god let bad things happen to good people. and there are a couple of different ways that theologians, and worshipers think about this in the period. some of them believe this is something that's understandable from a biblical point of view. so original sin means you are going to have some bad things happen because of it later on. it also is kind of the language of providentialism is coping language. it's therapeutic, so it's the idea that every time you have some kind of set back, or every time there's a bout of call ru, or a famine or your ship is lost at sea, or someone in the family dies of alcoholism, something a tragedy great or small, whatever the adams's had happen in their family circle, they had this guiding idea that providence would still heal them. a lot of early americans talk about this as a school of afflict

and vicious policies that do sell but i would say so i start the book with quoting plato not adam smith and i say that plato said storytellers rule the world and the stories about where wealth creation comes from so only in companies like apple or in the financial sector better capitalism cetera is i think a story that also then justifies this very skewed way in which we're distributing the rewards which are actually fruit of a much more collective system and so what i would argue is that the kind of battle against the state that began with margaret thatcher and ronald reagan had to be accompanied by a whole narrative a discourse a story using plato's words that kind of portrayed the state as being you know a bit boring and inertial but what most people don't realize and so it's not enough just to tell that kind of basic story is that the tech itself the really high risk technology was also funded by the state must use the new hero of space but also solar electric vehicles he received five billion dollars from the u.s. government forestry companies space x. tests and solar city these ar
