Great to see you here on Substack, Michael, and great blog! I've been writing blogs on Substack also, and just posted this one today, https://substack.com/home/post/p-173784146

My series is called "Making Sense of the Chaos." Like you, I'm taking one issue at a time and trying to look at it from an evolutionary perspective. I try to keep it positive, but that sure is tough these days!

Blessings,

Anodea

Thank you Anodea, and I'm glad to know that you like what I wrote. This essay is one of a series I'm writing called "The Revolution Will Be Televised." The most recent essay I wrote is "Why Revolutions Start Long Before They Begin." https://mwayne.substack.com/p/why-revolutions-start-long-before.

And that's wonderful that you're also writing a series on Substack, we need more from this evolutionary perspective to help us see the way forward through the chaos. I will subscribe to your Substack and I look forward to your further essays.

Hi Michael,

I'm so glad I read this article! I address many of the same issues except on a geopolitical level, since I think the whole western world is in lock step with the USA. So I'll be reading your posts and paying attention with interest.

And I agree: we need a vision to aspire towards, and what you've laid out is the kind of world I want to live in too.

Best of luck with your project!

Thank you Diana, I'm glad the essay resonated with you. I'm glad you address the same issues on a geopolitical level, as democracy is floundering in many parts of the developed world. I hope you continue reading the series, as I have many essays to come. If you're not a subscriber, you can do so for free to get the essays in your inbox, or you can just look for the essays as I post them. And this series is an outgrowth of my recent feature documentary film, How to Save Democracy, at https://savingdemocracyfilm.com/
