Good content and great reminders we will have a heck of a genetic bottleneck going forward. Think we are encountering the massive weight of denial those affected will display as they try to grieve.

Somehow the sense of change is around us today. We can question the meaning of "Head Girl" -that is- the sanctity of the bureaucracy! We are in a limnal space as David Spangler writes.

Liminal space is the threshold between two states, neither fully here nor fully there but somewhere in transition. For someone in such a space, a “liminalite,” it can be an exciting place, full of novelty and opportunity, and it can be a terrifying place as well. The familiar and the old are falling away but the new hasn’t taken shape yet. Promise and peril seem equally possible.

All around us, if we look, we can see the seeds of a new consciousness, a new way of being in the world, beginning to appear, taking root, forming sprouts. Some are more robust than others; some, like the seeds in Jesus’s parable, have fallen on inhospitable soil and others on fertile soil.

I think Jordan Peterson has also said something about how women in politics will show different style of power-wielding. He referred to movie mean girls, if I remember right. Headgirls can be nasty, too.

As to the what keeps our elites ticking: our prime minister has lost weight, likewise Jacinda Ardern, and I think there are others too, who have a reputation of using the white floury stuff to keep them going. Round here our partygirl prime minister parties with folks who are users, but of course, she never knew and never used. They must have something to keep their conscience asleep.

You write: "Originality of thought and independent problem-solving are not desired" anywhere in mainstream circles. Certainly not in Basketball.

The international kleptocrats have thoroughly lost the plot. Wonder what they really do to fry their brains at Davos?
