People have brains to figure out how to live their lives. I'm just trying to point out some of the logical fallacies we've built into our systems.

Do you want me to write a novel, about some future world, where we have culturally acclimated to a less linear, more reciprocal understanding of life?

Unfortunately I'm not a professional writer. I've grown up and lived in the intersection of horse racing and agriculture and while it gives me a fairly good view of the intersection of human society and the organic reality from which it has emerged, my mind just doesn't churn out long speculative thought pieces. I mostly live in the here and now. Otherwise I get hurt, when I'm not paying attention.

Now if you do get some sense of the wavelength and are intending on being a professional writer, you are more than welcome to use any of these ideas. I've been discussing, with another writer on medium, about putting a book together, but we are both busy and while there has been some progress, it really hasn't coalesced.

At 61, from a family that isn't terribly long lived, I do my best, but I'm not going to stress over it. No banging my head on too many walls.
