You do explain the physical dynamic occurring, that organisms, whether physical individuals, or social groups, need to synchronize their clocks, in order to function as one, while the larger ecosystem is a matter of harmonizing its various actions, so that some are rising and some are falling, in an overall equilibrium.

What I would really like to see come out of this current bout of herd myopia, whether it is of the more leftist cancel culture, or the elites using them to divide and conquer, in an ultimately futile effort to maintain control of an economic system running on debt drawn from a fast approaching future, is to have some larger discussion of the various assumptions and beliefs being pushed to the point of incoherence.

I see three significant misconceptions built into the foundations of our current social system.

The logical fallacy of monothism is that a spiritual absolute would necessarily be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. While it might have been politically expedient to source awareness from a father figure lawgiver, conflating the absolute with the ideal creates the much broader intellectual conceit that one's ideals are beyond question and universal, rather than fairly unique expressions of circumstance. Facilitating any number of ideologies, that have risen in recent centuries.

The Ancients were not entirely ignorant of monotheism, but as there was little distinction between culture and civics, it equated with a monocultural authoritarianism. One people, one ruler, one god. Democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic societies, as that was their interpretation of the multiculturalism arising from diverse tribal cultures intersecting in more populous societies, having to balance diverse beliefs. The Romans adopted Christianity as the Empire solidified and any remnants of the Republic were shed. Consequently the default political system for the next thousand plus years was monarchy and feudalism. When the West went back to more populist forms of government, it required the separation of church and state, culture and civics.

One further aspect of this is that good and bad are not some cosmic conflict, between the forces of righteousness and evil, but the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. When good is viewed as aspirational, rather than elemental, conflicts do become a race to the bottom, of us versus them, as any nuance and subjectivity is too complicated to process in a black and white polarity.

The fact is that any society that ever existed will have those enforcing the customs and conventions, versus those pushing them. More yin and yang, than God Almighty.

The second observation is that we experience time backward. As these mobile organisms, our reality is a sequence of perceptions, logically originating as a function of navigation, which is re-enforced through narrative based cultures. So we think of time as the point of the present, moving past to future, but the reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is "conserved," because it is the present. It creates time, as well as temperature, pressure, colors, sounds. Frequencies and amplitudes. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

Time is asymmetric because it is a measure of action and action is inertial. The earth only turns one direction.

Different clocks can run at different rates simply becuse they are separate actions. Think metabolism.

That civilization is about everyone following the same narratives, bound by the same rules, using the same measurements, it might seem there should be a universal, Newtonism flow of time, but there is rabbit, time, turtle time, etc. Keeping in mind the turtle is still plodding along, long after the rabbit has died. Harmonization, not synchronization.

Effectively the energy, as process, goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. In terms of a wave, the energy drives it, as it passes through, while the fluctuations rise and fall.

Cause is energy transformation, not sequence. Yesterday doesn't cause today, the sun shining on a spinning planet creates this cycle of days and nights.

Which raises many interesting questions, if energy and any information that can be derived from it go opposite directions of time, but pursuing them generally gets me canceled, banned, etc, from any academically based discussion.

Suffice to say, consciousness goes past to future, while perceptions, emotions, thoughts go future to past. Though it is the digtive, repiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the nervous systems sorts the signals.

The other point is that money is the social contract enabling societies larger than small groups, not a commodity to mine from society.

Contrary to the economists, a medium and a store are not necessarily interchangeable. As in blood is a medium, while fat is a store. The tool has become the god, the medium has become the message.

I could draw that out as well, but I'll leave it at this, as possible lessons we might learn from our current crisis.
