And for good reason: it would be easy to follow the "hope" offered by the loudest voices that promise a bigger adventure attached to their version.
But a lot of us here know that leads to a predictable horizon. Just another war of Blue versus Red, or Trad versus Modern.
Instead, we find hope knowing that we have the freedom in our minds to wander past these mirages.
In time, we'll be proven wise, as others chase false adevntures. I just now saw a guru on Twitter lamenting that he can't grow in the same way anymore. Well, that's because people are learning that soundbites won't solve the complex problems of today.
Interesting and a bit of a bleak read. I've felt this same fragmentation -- it feels like we've deconstructed the infrastructure that both constricted yet made shared moments of "greatness" possible.
Drawing a line to trauma and the individual, this could be used as a tool to work through specific pieces separately, heal them, and then come together/join once more.
What do you feel the forecast is for unity? I have this image of art being able to stitch together the most difficult tapestries. Are the borders between polarities capable of healing? Can we learn to acknowledge the different and multifaceted needs we all have and build a language capable of interfacing between them?
Just questions/riffing, curious to hear more of your thoughts!
I don't see it as bleak so much as an opportunity to travel further into inner creative realms, and therefore find unity in a shared resurgence of passion.
I'm a huge proponent of that Big Tent paradigm, but many of us couldn't forsee how it would cross a threshold from security in shared meaning to a passionless dystopia that gamifies human relationships and reduces expression into stale memes.
People like to share those videos of people swooning over the latest blockbuster in the 90s outside a theater - well, now we get a chance to cultivate that again, though in more of a fractal form, through new ways of expressing ourselves beyond prefabricated hot takes. It'll take awhile for everyone to enjoy this rhythm of life, because the language is still forming.
Keep going....but it’s difficult...discouraging...where is hope?
I think that issue is front and center right now.
