In this brief Today is Someday video, Glen Gould reflects on the flood of unfiltered opinions about the recent election circulating on Facebook and Twitter. He uses this moment to announce an article he has written titled “The Audacity of Hopelessness,” which he posts on his website. Gould explains that the provocative title is meant to attract attention, encourages viewers to read the piece before forming judgments, and asks for comments after they have read it. The monologue serves as a personal invitation to engage with his deeper analysis of the election’s emotional climate.

Hi, it's Glen Gould with another Today is Someday. Have you ever wanted to just without caution, without thinking, without wondering what the consequences would be, just say what was on your mind? Well, this morning as I trolled Facebook and Twitter, there are a lot of people saying what's on their mind about the election. And in light of that, I wrote an article that I'd like for you to read on my website. It's called "The Audacity of Hopelessness." And yes, the title is intended to get your attention, but I hope you'll read it before you judge what you think it might be saying. And I hope that you'll give me some comments on my website once you have read it. So today is someday, the day that I'm going to tell you about the audacity of hopelessness. I hope you'll read.
