This is the most important thing

 We have to acknowledge and really examine the undeniable fact that there is a small group of people on both conservative and liberal who want us to remain divided for their purposes and they work very hard at doing this and we can see it in the way that the Democrats used Trump to divide and hoping that that will help them succeed and we can see now the way that for example of conservative media is working very hard to divide us.

It seems to me that the challenge for our challenges to remember who we are that we are one.the rest of us is undoing that divided and trying to find a way to come together instead of letting ourselves be manipulated in that way and being made into the worst versions of ourselves. The challenge is for us to become the best version of ourselves rather than letting the US become whatever the least commond denominator is. The challenge for us is to teach each other to remember who and what we really are. To know that we are one and to get to that one that is what this all is about anyway.

I heard someone once say I believe it was Anthony Jean c h e n e a French filmmaker say if we know ourselves then we know all and I guess that's a way of saying that we are one and if we really become reflective if we really go within instead of reacting to the world around us we will begin to understand that and I think that things like social media or mass media really pull us away from doing that.

Love is the only thing that matters at the end of the day. And what we're doing now is the antithesis of love so our experience here and I think we're moving in this direction maybe to see what's the worst that we can be we're getting there I really think we are and once we're there we will say this is not us this is not who we are at our core or are meant to be and we have to figure out how to turn this around.

What was created with social media is a kind of incessant chatter we're looking at it reading it responding reacting to it constantly it's like it never ends on this feedback loop that is so kind of productive and I think the only way that we can get back to ourselves and back to the love is a step away from it to do a lot more internal listening and internal work and not worry about so much what other people are saying or doing who are usually just as confused in the dark and reactive as we are.

I really feel like by having the type of conversations we ate now, one one, we better access truth and reality. More importantly, we better access our humanity and oneness. I've discovered more, I think, about myself and what's really going on during these past four months than I learned in four years of blabbing online. 

I think we've learned our reality is easily mamipulated by those who have the desire to conquer and oppress. They manufacturing the reality that best serves them by manipulating our perceptions, and they do that by manipulating our language.

We don't have to opine on everything.

We really don't. I think social media is what's responsible. It's got us thinking that we need to voice our opinion on everything that happens and everything that said and done when really we don't need to at all. And then we feel the need to respond to others' responses. Why? Our opinion about what goes on in the world isn't always relevant, is frequently not well enough informed, and is almost always precipitous and unnecessary. And the media feels like they have so much air and space to fill, because now news must be 24/7 and everywhere, that they fill interviews, columns, talks shows, etc. with opinion. They ask people what they think about what someone else said or posted and demand a reaction. What does it really matter what someone else thinks and why must others always weigh in? Take, for example, Naomi Osaka pullout. She said what she said, she gave her reasons, accepted the fine, and that should have been the end of it. But, no. It has to get talked to...

INTRO TO BOOK CONCEPT IN TYPICAL EXPOSITORY FORM - "Post-Progressive"

On January 7, 2021, Presidential Election Certification Day in the United States, I viewed scenes from the previous day's Capitol revolt in horror along with millions of other Americans. Reading my daily news feed, I saw photo after photo of a frenzied mob storming our country's most venerated federal building, penetrating its entry points in any way possible, in an attempt to disrupt the House of Representatives' business of officially naming Joe Biden 40th president of the United States. Angry, passion-fueled protestors armed with everything from signs and flags to zip ties, handcuffs, incendiary devices, and firearms had swarmed the building. They scaled walls and balconies, assaulted and pushed past Capitol guards, breached the chamber itself, and reportedly went on the hunt for any elected officials who hadn't managed to flee the building in fear for their lives. Some in the mob were even heard demanding the head of outgoing Vice President ____ Pence, who they by t...
