Splendid stuff. Having just returned from a few weeks in the UK I can report that all hands are to the pumps of distaction in the neoliberal world. I'm sure the same is happening here, I just don't see it as clearly. The religeous component of how societies navigate the civilizational change really fascinates me. I've started to wonder where exactly the line is between holding strong opinions on the intrinsic value of nature and those opinions becoming a matter of collective faith. Is it just that we need to start sharing basic rituals? Will individualism delay or even prevent a logical and largely facts-based religeon (now there's a novel idea)? Do we need to start promoting woshipful practices for the ecologically woke? Scariest of all for me, is that despite my own strong sense of individualism and dislike for organised religeon, I'm pretty sure I'm ready to overlook various short-commings to follow a charismatic leader in this direction were one to rise up. I'm hoping that it's just a sign that my subconcious acknowledges that the only productive way forward is via the route of solidarity behind a singluar philosophy. If you've ever had any cultish inclinations now might be your time to rise up Andy.

Spot on Bro. I’ve been travelling through stheast Asia currently in India, amazing how publicly peep’s live their lives, community togetherness as a way of being. The individual comes after the group.

Agree with your forecast, ruff ridin’ rodeo on a roll.

Selective obedience a good place to start, excite with cool stuff, hopes fears n’ good ideas 👍🏽
