Back on twitter I was unable to write an interesting bio so I tried to be witty. I wasn’t. This might be better and about as informative.
![And how do we change, you know? I mean, how does a systemic change happen? . . . I was talking to a much smarter person than me about it, and he was saying that the world currently doesn’t have a center. The center is falling apart. The world and the structures are just being dismantled, dissipating, and dissolving. The world is dying, but not in an ultimate way. It’s a death before a rebirth. And this is what’s happened over and over and over again. It’s not like the Renaissance was just a bunch of guys getting together [and saying], “Should we do a Renaissance?” It was a bunch of individuals feeling a lack of center in the world, and finding a center in themselves, and creating a whole new way of perceiving and living, and bringing that very personal center to the center of the culture, while a bunch of other people were doing the same thing.
I find hope in the idea that each of us as individuals can find that change within ourselves—can find that true core of humanity and soul, and style, and deep self, to bring to the center of the culture. And if enough of us do that, then enough seeds will be planted to grow a world that maybe is a bit better than the last one.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hw6pij3rglmi4eescerb2pn5/bafkreibr6pgzi7agwmsi7kmfsnhwihbw766pfeuz4qibkgmlw6qmzeewbi)
