Thank you. That was enjoyable to read; a lens I don't typically look through and prescient. And while I'm no expert on any of it, intuitively (how I largely operate) I see much of what you see in terms of things coming to an end, and something new emerging.

Recognizing ends of eras don't go quietly, I agree something better is on the horizon that will demand human individual freedom, and even more, a deepening of personal understanding re individual sovereignty. I suspect as we imagine our future, we'll come to see how constrained our imagination has been, how necessary it will be to shed our understanding - even much of history, because it too is not reliable and has been intentionally limited, distorted and skewed. I suspect the story is so much bigger than we know. Cosmic. (We don't tend to think of ourselves as cosmic beings part of cosmic-sized stories.)

Reality-show-world is what I call what we've been living in. The Truman Show - (if you know the movie?) writ large.

I think the lack of drive many young people are currently experiencing; reports of them not being ambitious or wanting to work, has to do with their sensing this changing landscape, the old is falling, the new is not yet formed and they don't know how to dig in to quicksand. Who does?

And it's not just business models and structures as you know - values and societal priorities are shifting, often without any intelligent framing for people to comprehend it.

Progressivism and capitalism - as you note - while too simple to capture the forces in play - to me have been and continue to be used to maintain a conceptual framing (fully bankrupt of meaning and hijacked now) that divides, and limits and supports a dying narrative - as long as possible - to hide those behind it. And I do think there is force behind it that has operated in a hidden capacity though through our visible societal structures.

What a fascinating and challenging time to be on planet earth.

Thank you, I appreciate your wider perspective.

Thank you.

As you can tell, I have been seeing this for a long time. It has not been until this year that people have begun to see what I see. I think the COVID op went far beyond what was necessary because the Centralized Powers control over events is fragile. Today, nothing is hidden, everything is exposed if people are willing to look for themselves. Now the question is what do we do in response. It begins with educating yourself. Thanks for a great comment.

I agree, the over-extension is a "tell" and tells us they are weak and quickly becoming desperate. What to do in response is the central point. I look forward to hearing from you, on this. Best.
