Another pleasant read. Thanks for it. My thoughts about our predicament seem to continue to align with yours. I have been writing along a similar line but more recently with a focus on the psychological mechanisms that impact our thinking, touching on those aspects that keep us caught up in and anchored to the elite-generated narratives. My thinking is that being aware of these mind traps and discovering ways to avoid them, if at all possible, may be one of our best ways to escape the chains that they impose upon our beliefs and thus behaviours.
