Micheal,

Thank you. It's nice to see these ideas taking root outside my own, increasingly chaotic mind. Read "old."

We do live in a time of monumental change, where lots of the old systems are starting to break down and many of those still standing are building security walls around themselves, becoming increasingly cut off from the rest. So new systems will have to arise and certainly many people out there are imagining how the world should be, often to their own benefit.

So rather than trying to contruct new narratives and systems to replace the old, maybe it is a good opportunity to sit back and try understanding why collective narratives are important to our social functioning, giving everyone a direction and focus. How order is necessary to give a sense of stability.

As there are competing narratives and structures, we should first understand how they coalesce out of these cycles of expansion and consolidation, because it is likely the cracks in the system will go much deeper than many can yet envision, so their new narratives will start being built on crumbling foundations.

Likely there are bankers out there, planning on using public debt to further privatize everything, young people assuming a total lack of order and structure is the only way to go and lastly, generals and armies in their bunkers, planning on the day they come out, to "restore order." All pouring fuel on the fire, hoping they each hold the winning hand.

So currently the best place to be , is floating on that present edge between order and energy, desire and judgement, understanding that it will take years, decades, to really start to settle out.

Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

We live in interesting times.
