America’s national debt has crossed $38.5 trillion — growing at $92,912 every second.
Interest payments now exceed defense spending.
Social Security faces insolvency by 2032.
And the two political factions that must address these crises can’t agree on basic facts, let alone solutions.
In this new article, we identify three structural realities locked in an impossible contradiction — the Constraint Triangle — and map five futures that can emerge from it:

C. S. Lewis. Alvin Plantinga. Viktor Frankl. Martin Luther King Jr. Edith Stein. Kierkegaard. Chesterton. Whitehead — Russell’s own collaborator.
