Closing Argument: The Utility of Resisting Futility 

  • Dylan Thomas, the Welsh poet, said it best: Do not go gentle in that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light. Be more like the wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist, and in the same vein, the greatest trick the system ever pulled was convincing people you cannot resist. The argument is simple, short, and, in this vein, sweet: never forget our own ability to change the world, no matter how long the odds may seem. Do indeed never go gentle in that good night.
