I happened up on you today, on my way to my son‘s post.

I get distracted with the plethora of stuff — good information, crazy information, interesting information,valid information, exciting panels of real discussion and then some…

I digress. I wandered, as I notice you do as well. I remained interested enough to stay with you more half way through your presentation. Perhaps solitary later…

I enjoy coming upon another human, genuinely interested in what it means to be human, especially in today’s climate of understanding and misunderstanding, and whatever is the human way,…

It’s affirming to find agreement in another’s perspective, which I find in your rhetoric. We are of mutual affection for humanness and for being human. It’s a messy, beautiful life being a human. I imagine you’d agree.

The questions you note that confront society today and us on the liberal/ progressive vantage as humans, I totally I concur with.

Yet, I realize you’re not a gardener, certainly not an organic gardener. Actually, I must challenge your perspective on the agribusiness world of feeding the population as we are.

We are many! Perhaps too many. That’s another conversation

Yet, I challenge, rather encourage you to research organic gardening more. Actually look into the concepts of Permaculture, soil management and land management. There is a contrast of the volume of produce of exceptional nutritional value that is grown when we care for the soil, and the people.

Okay, that’s one bit that I would value you diving a little deeper into.

It has been great spending doing dishes time with your presentation.

Now I have some urgency to return to my studies which also competes with desire to read my son‘s next essay on agency.

I think you’d find those interesting. Also his perspective on AI. He both used it and sees the pitfalls, you do too. How it may be used by persons and corporations that we are extremely leery of, I’m quite concerned. My potential appreciation of AI is still a stretch from where my son’s is, though I find it helpful.

I’d like to introduce you to Glenn and his Substack offering.

I feel you would both appreciate conversations with each other.

Glenn Devore is his name.

Thank you for sharing with me this morning. Our mutual concern about humanities’s turn as we reflect on who we are and how we live on this planet.

Regards and deep blessings.

Do you sense that there is a rising up as so many of us seek a meaningful truthful understanding of the consequences of the actions of those currently in power

You’ve got to get out of the centrist liberal bubble. We now know it never truly existed.
