It's not exactly like England is alone. Look across the rest of the West.

Which speaks to problems much deeper than we care to contemplate.

My argument is that not so much are the models of society broken, but that in our efforts to impose a universal model, be it monotheism, colonialism, capitalism, communism, whatever, we overlook the fact all models are subjective. Maps, not the territory.

There is no universal map, because the very function of this framing device is to sort signals from the noise. Too much information and it reverts back to noise. Whiteout.

What limits, defines and what defines, limits.

We are not god, because there is no omniscient omniscience.

The essence of consciousness is that sentience bubbling up, not some ideal of wisdom and judgement looking down. The light shining through and animating the film, than the stories playing out on it.

One is the node, oneness is the network.

We have to accept our place in the world.

God is desire.

Wisdom is that old bitch with the stick.

Trial and error.
