We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

  • The Economic Reset with Ernst Wolff featuring the latter being interviewed by Dave Cullen from his YouTube channel Computing Forever. This is a best post. (Note: Wolff shows how the Great Reset (he refers to it as a "restart"), which will have extreme consequences for our economies and societies, is hidden from public view by the covid crisis. The latter is functioning as a cover for astounding changes in our economies.) My reaction: It is no wonder that our masters in the capitalist ruling classes are pushing the covid crisis so vigorously.
