Just take note that there are many pundits doing a good job telling us what's wrong, but few people like Greg on the front lines trying to do anything about what stands a chance to kill us all. At the risk of offending my other readers, even clicking on the Like button to call attention to those rare folks whose lives are devoted to trying to save humanity has been too big an ask. May whatever passes for god have mercy on us all.
This great post of yours, about our materialistic surface reality, is complementary with a so smart other new one: https://beiner.substack.com/p/best-served-cold-luigi-mangione-and. That looks to the same causal realm you look to, about what’s pivotal for redress to what ails us being our connection as one humanity. See this sentence from Alexander Beiner’s post: “The first step in fighting back against our new Technofeudal reality is to create a counter-culture that links status to quality, not quantity.”
It's so good that you linked me up with Alexander Beiner, one of the smartest people on Substack that I tell my subscribers to subscribe to and have recommended to all people writing on Substack. I wish he'd pick up on me. I see you've posted to him, telling him you like me. It would be great if my other subscribers did that, too.
The magnitude of corruption throughout "our system" of governance has become astoundingly routine. Voters from all political perspectives mourn that "the fix" is in(potent) while being slapped around by promises of pathetically myopic leadership clusters (FUBAR). We esteem the power of voting but it's too often a mirage. The next Prez and those riding along in his clown car are so buffoonish regarding bizarre conspiracy theories, it belittles the stunning depths of actual organized crime enter-prizes smugly thriving with elitist anonymity. Resentment and exposure are crucial but insufficient to sustain challenging the perverted norm. Welcome to the Matrix.
I hadn't heard FUBAR. Love it! Maybe that will save us -- so far over the edge that if we don't pull ourselves back goodbye to industrialized humanity. It's laughable it is so FUBAR. And so good to have people to share the laughs with.
Thanks so much for reading this, Diana. It's said that one person who responds to something can be counted on to be proxy for many more, so it helps my spirits to have you show up here.
What a sorry mess we are in. I'm thinking of a contest for heroes. Turn on video cameras and call humanity to become the heroic species we were designed to become.
Thanks for sharing Greg's piece, Suzanne. He's such an incredible journalist.

Trump didn't have to steal the election. The dem party gave it away.
