Amazing Grace, right there with you three! It is this honesty & dignified ability to listen, to hold, to share-patience, to help spell things out! That-all gives us a "You Are Here" wake up & know moment. Folks feeling, knowing, understanding, weeping, angry, readying. At very least a commonality in belief backed up..."these horrors needs to end."
We need to have a plan. A Good, Wilkerson, Vogler Plan! Gigantic Thank you, gentlemen. You are the educator governing body. Good News. Trinity is most powerful bc it is inherently also kind. By Nature.
This was a very good discussion. I’m an admirer of Larry Wilkerson and everyone on his side of the fence.
In my humble opinion one has to ask themselves how it is that we find ourselves in the situation we’re currently in. And then as a follow up question, one should ask if there’s any way that we can somehow modify or change things to get out of the mess we find ourselves. This is a pressing question because it looks like we’re not in a good place and we’re headed for even bigger troubles.
This is where my “course” comes in. It’s something I think you might be interested in.
My course identifies what we should be striving for both individually and as a species - which is happiness. It identifies what we should be trying to avoid - which is allowing narcissists to run the show and thereby increasing ill will and suffering.
My course is made up of a series of YouTube videos by other people and a review of my three papers.
Among the lecturers in the YouTube videos are John Mearsheimer, The Dalai Lama, The Harvard Study on Happiness, Howard Zinn, Isaac Asimov, Jason Stanley, etc.
If you’re interested I can share my course with you. It basically puts it all together so as to make it easier to identify what we should be striving for and how we should be trying to achieve that goal. Thanks…
This is going to sound a little crazy but my course makes for the basis of a kind of very good non-religious religion, the basis for a very good US and worldwide political platform, and the basis for the operating system for artificial intelligence (AI).
It would serve as a very good operating system for AI acting as both its governor and ultimate sole objective (a concept I borrowed from Nate Bostrom). And as a consequence of that, if AI were to have my “course” as its governor and sole ultimate objective it (AI) would be much more likely to have its objectives aligned with that which is in the human race as a species’ best, most beneficial long term interests.
It (my course) not only identifies the third attractor that Daniel Schmachtenberger talks about but it itself is the best way to try to achieve that condition or goal. It’s thereby our best bet to try to avoid “the race to the bottom”, “the tragedy of the commons”, or “moloch” as it’s described in game theory, that we’re racing toward.
Another way to put it is that it’s a way of trying to use the tools we already have to steer things in the best direction possible thereby avoiding the disastrous set of catastrophes we’re currently hurtling toward.
It’s a kind of all encompassing, one stop shop that leaves no stone unturned and that once one is able to articulate is hard to argue against.
It’s logical, rational and sensible.
Just like John Mearsheimer’s theory of offensive realism it’s simple. And just like his theory it makes perfect sense.
That’s not to say that even if we were to adopt it as a way to try to change our mindsets it would be a complete panacea. But even for those things that one can anticipate being a problem and for those that are unforeseen it’s still the best framework within which, or from which, to tackle all of our biggest existential problems.
And, in my humble opinion, it deserves much more attention than it’s gotten.

Keep hammering away guys. I'm with you.

Y’all might be interested in my “course”. It lays out what we should be doing.
