Toward Ecosophy

I'm tolerably well removed from that world, so the astral weather I'm encountering is pretty good. I'm not at all surprised that the meltdowns are accelerating, however; the reasons for that are political, so I won't get into them here, but the more the tide of events turns against the managerial class, the more often even highly intelligent people are sinking back into baboonery in response. Social hierarchy is older than rational thought -- we share the same patterns of dominance and submission with all social mammals -- and the rising tide of status panic besetting the managerial class these days is a vast and wholly nonrational factor in our collective lives.
