Bulls eye. The trek might need to be a sprint if we want the outcome to be benificial. Looking forward to your thoughts on how a new philosophy, politics and economy can be grown to fill the void we're both dreaming about.

This civilisation is a stereotypical "Cargo Cult".

I sailed up to Vanuatu 3 times from Aotearoa NZ, I read about the Island Nations culture before heading up to ensure I was culturally sensitive, my Māori friends taught me that was important decades ago.

In Vanuatu there's a cult called "John Frumm", it still exists today. Another Indigenous nation steamrolled by colonialism.

It reminds me that Religions of all kinds deflected the evolutionary process into a one-way cul de sac.
