We are in it. We are in it deep. Is there anyway back or out? No. Should we rise up and resist. No. It's clear, to me anyway, that the powers that be, those who develop, massage and deliver the "narrative" have no desire to change the language or the structure of the dominant paradigm. Or its effects on all of us. Or its system of rewards. Or who is on what side of which "current thinking" line. The rewards for the elite are too high. If you were to list all of the instances of this century's cognitive dissonance foisted on us by the elites you would fill up the entire Substack arena. It's not that one should despair. Other than fantasizing about creating and thriving within a network of fiercely independent and remote polis to eke out what would become a 19th century level of agrarian existence - we are in it.
So, now the challenge for each of us is - how do we manage our way through these days such that we and our children survive and thrive?
I suspect that we need to change the field of play in our quest for peace or remediation or justice. The only way forward is to completely alter your consciousness or outlook such that one tempers oneself to stop resisting and accept what is. But I will continue to read your ruminations.
