Hi David, Squad,
PAST = STATIC = EVIL
FUTURE=DQ=GOOD
The worn out mythos has not collapsed at all. It is doomed- certainly. But
it lives still, constrained only by available resources. The environment is
that resource.
More broadly, we can say that every morning we wake up to our own personal
worn out mythos. The challenge is to live each day in a "Now" that
dynamically overcomes our static past. If we all do that as a society- we
will have built heaven.
love
