We know we are destroying the planet, complicit in the rise of tyranny, destroying life, hurting one another, so it should be clear that we must change. At root is a selfish and ignorant immorality, deeper than any current religion or ideology. Now is a call to deeper spiritual transcendence.

The topic of topics, Doc Eliot. The madness of a dominator model of civilization, a sickness some N. American indigenous people called “wetiko”. Socio-psycho-historians and feminists call patriarchy. It is very old. What humans do thry can stop doing, but the dominators are uninterested in doing so.

“Men become real men by breaking boundaries—the sexual boundaries of women and children, the cultural and political boundaries of indigenous people, the biological boundaries of rivers and forests, the genetic boundaries of other species, and the physical boundaries of the atom itself. The sadist is rewarded with money and power, but he also gets a sexual thrill from dominating. And the end of the world is a mass circle jerk of autoerotic asphyxiation.” • Lierre Keith, “The Girls and the Grasses” pop
