Yeah, you know, in those days, it looked like, we were starting to get it, you know, looks like control based high tech medicine was kind of on the way out, and people were awakening to the microbiome and to holistic medicine. And there was this massive movement toward alternative therapies, and, and toward organic agriculture, and permaculture and restorative justice practices and like things looked like they were on the right track. Yeah, sure. There were still some dinosaurs in positions of power, but it looked like the mass consciousness was really accelerating in a good direction. And then COVID came along. And wow, everybody defaulted back to quite a narrow orthodoxy. So and, and, you know, at the same time, fascistic or totalitarian trends have dramatically intensified. And the control of centralized big tech has intensified, and the whole ideology of progress that I described before as an increasing ability to control the world, for example, in the form of tracking, surveilling, labeling microchipping, everything, and everyone like, that seems to be ascending as well. So in a way, it looks like we're moving away from a new story, and doubling down on the old story. But I wonder still, if this isn't kind of the last gasp of a dying ideology, that if, because where does like what is the process by which a human being or a society emerges? From an old self, an old story and old identity into a new one, it inevitably involves a process of breakdown, in which you are every effort to maintain life as it was the comfortable, familiar life, and to maintain yourself as who you were, finally fails. And you're left in what I call in the book, the space between stories left in the space between stories, where you just give up on knowing who you are, and what's real anymore. And I think that that's happening to a lot of people, even the proliferation of conspiracy theories, is evidence of this breakdown, where the, the meaning that everybody agreed on, or almost everybody, it was a, a general agreement about who we were and what the world was that encompass most of society. For most of my lifetime, that is disintegrating. And so people in their existential panic, they reached for a replacement story of everything. We had a story of everything like to take us as Americans, for example. You know, there was a whole part of the mythology was, what America was and democracy and freedom and bringing it to the world. And, and yeah, that was racism. But we're working on that. Yeah, poverty, we're working on that better and better upward and onward. Like that whole mythology that that was most intense, maybe the United States, but it includes pretty much the whole industrialized world like that. It was robust, but it's breaking down now. Like we were supposed to have perfect health by the impossibly futuristic year of 2020. The common cold is supposed to have been eliminated. 20 years ago. I mean, you're, you're my age or older, right? You remember? Yeah, like science fiction in the 60s in the 70s. I mean, come on. We're gonna live in paradise. And, and as that vision fails, people get desperate. So they're reaching for these alternatives. Stories of everything, theory of everything. Oh, it's evil Illuminati, and their alien overlords who are harvesting psychic energy by, you know, through human trafficking and etc, etc. Like, and I'm not saying, okay, when I call something a myth, by the way, I don't mean that as a slander.
