It’s fantastic though, isn’t it? 😁

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Maybe we can update things some by having infants click to accept mandatory arbitration as they pop out.

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

Everyone keeps saying "No one is coming to save us!" but I think it's a distinct possibility that whoever did this is coming to save us.

The worst kind of doomerism is the idea that we cannot change people's minds who have fallen prey to propaganda & that we're wasting efforts trying. Yes many people fail trying but clearly - Russians & misinfo ops are great at it. It would be super smart for the pro-democracy side to master this

In Plato’s dualism, the self ascends away from the world. In Advaita, the self dissolves into the world—what remains is presence, and from that, service becomes coherence, not duty. #Nonduality

I love the stuff! 🤣

Don’t forget, we’re damn smart mammals. We may need to work together differently to unleash our full capabilities.

i think one of the worst things we have done as a society is perpetuate the ideas "relationships are hard" and "relationships take work!" to the point that people think "being in a relationship involves suffering"

Western civ had a good run, let’s forfeit and let someone else have a go, before ΔT >= 2°C

Blast, foiled again by Dualism! [shakes fist]
