I don’t understand why your comment would have been deleted. I’ve heard Marc’s name here and there but this was actually the first time (that I know of) that I’m reading his article. I resonate with it. Thanks for the link.
My 3 sents: we need more folks writing about a vision of the future. But the future we want, not the future we’re currently headed into. I fall into the trap of writing all gloom and doom myself because it’s a.) a bit overwhelming and I have to get it out in writing because people around me are either sick of hearing me talk about it and/or I don’t want to incite more fear and b.) in a way, it’s exciting to write about the end of the world. We are living in the middle of a sci-fi thriller.
But ultimately, in order to get out of this, we need to see, imagine, and paint the future we want to see on the other side of this. Would love to hear your version, Frank.
Frank deleted his Substack so his comments also got deleted. Or are you Frank just under a different Substack?
Also for clarity, I enjoy discourse with the hope that it eventually heals the human race. Yes, sometimes it’s heated, but I approach with curiosity as to why someone feels a certain way. I stay away from derision or name calling or scolding, just not my MO. Not only will it be unlikely that I change that person’s mind, but also likely to lose some of the bystanders witnessing the discourse.
An excellent encapsulation. Thanks! Look forward to following your work.
Honored!
Spot. F**king. On.
Splendid!
Nice digging and always happy when folks use Wayback because history does vanish!
War is good for burying truth

Exactly
