We exist between the anarchies of desire and the tyrannies of judgement. Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.
I do think the current powers that be will prove to be the greatest force for change, because of their utter cluelessness. They are cooking their own golden goose. The future is a continuation of the past, until it becomes a reaction to it.
Human culture is a function of one generation passing its knowledge onto the next. In the process a framework is created that each generation has to work within and over time it becomes so ingrained and foundational that it is impossible to question.
Yet we are approaching a point where the breakdown is going to be so profound that the culture will be shaken to its foundations and it will be the one opportunity to really figure out what we are doing wrong and how we might do it better.
