Tamzin, Thank you for your comments! Yes to Love. Yes to Love. Always yes to Love. I always cringe at anyone talking about "the masses". It is Othering of everyone else. We are the masses. We are seduce by lies for sure and that is the fault of the liars who intentionally deceive for personal benefit. What society is unwilling to do is to hold powerful liars to account and so we accuse those seduced by lies of being our downfall.

What is happening today regaurding the stock market is a PERFECT example of we the masses doing what they the Oligarchs do all the time and what is their response? Shut down the avenues for retail purchasing of stock ONLY.

I have been playing with the idea recently of #ThisIsQ. Pushing the idea that we don't need to gin up false outrage when there is clear and obvious degenerate behavior right in front of us.

I am and have always been obsessed with the plumbing of life. Human nature in unknowable but we are clearly malleable. If our system incentivized behavior that benefits the collective we would be better off. Currently our systems incentivized something akin to cannibalism.

I am writing a post now about what this plumbing might look like.
