Exciting to read what others have contributed, thank you as always Adam. I was not aware of Maslow's appropriation and complete reversal of the Blackfoot tipi of community actualization, thank you. And the Hopi prophecy maps exactly to everything I've been absorbing and resonating with these past four or five weeks. Thank you again!
Hi Adam. You wrote, “ I wholeheartedly agree with Dawson’s evocation of Thomas Berry that we are currently between stories.” and that reminded me of a post called “ Plot Economics” posted just over a year ago by the very clever Venkatesh Rao: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2020/03/09/plot-economics/ He argues that COViD has triggered a global a narrative collapse and that most of us are running at what he calls the log level, the “ the tick-tock stream of raw events being recorded, prior to being evaluated and filtered for significance.” Mere noting. I think we are emerging from that, but we have yet to restore a global narrative, a task made more challenging by the other existential problem, the climate crisis. I think you’d enjoy Rao, if you’re not already reading him.
