From what I understand about what is actually happening apathy and ignorance are probably a bad strategy. The reason is that awareness and curiosity about what is actually going on is what people call ‘consciousness raising’. It means rising above it and asking why and accepting what you thought was true and real is not accurate. The answer is not one that our current paradigm accepts. Nonetheless. And believe me, this is a global human reckoning and to have an elevated consciousness is really highly recommended.

I actually agree with you. My goal is to keep my eyes and mind open while holding steadfast to my values regardless of the consequences. Of course, all of my human biases, emotions, and weaknesses make this much easier said than done.

Yeah that is exactly it. Feel and accept the emotions but don’t let them rule you. You are way more on the right track than most because of your endless love for our planet and the beauty she holds. The bad beings in charge much prefer us in fear and sadness. My strategy is to not give them what they want.

I am at a point where I see the whole trajectory of humanity as a very organic process. Heck even billionaires don't seem to have control over their own destinies. Look at Zuckerberg, how much money do you need to call it "fuck you money"? In theory, this framing would lead me straight to apathy but what I feel instead is that my anger as a nature loving dad of three is also VERY organic! It's a vital part of the process. So yeah, I'm not gonna change the world but I will be rightfully pissed and I will rightfully love and hate as much as I want and I guess so will you! Wish you a quick recovery, I love reading you!

I had to disconnect from some of it for my mental health. I read the news. No tv news. No late night shows. Just NYT wsj and other major papers that I can get.
