    That’s really my dream.

    A realization that we have built the world we live in and could build a different world of we wanted to.

    There is generational trauma that prevents a lot of people from trusting others enough to even believe this is possible.

    If we could see an example of it and learn from it, with a little help from tech that makes resource conflicts meaningless, we might get there.

    I don’t think a threat narrative will accomplish this. That will make us pull deeper into a fear based hierarchy that would be even more likely to result in conflict.

    This is why I like to stick to fact based understanding of the phenomenon; my mind really tends to wander into the speculation. Fun but not necessarily productive. :)

      Part of where I’m stuck with The Phenomenon is the manipulation. I have to be careful and cognizant of my speculation about what it is and what it wants. I believe it is guiding us in a certain direction.

      What I don’t know is whether that direction is beneficial to us, to it, or to both of us. That is what is unsettling.
