It's interesting that many of us will find ourselves at something of an existential crossroad during any prompted hiatus from the status quo.

While it's exceptionally discouraging to see people clinging to their beliefs and trying to force the linear narratives, it's inspiring to see people breaking through the parameters of the typical feedback grooves and questioning or thinking more critically.

There's a lot stacked against the free and critical minds right now, especially with social media showing itself to be the greatest tool of propaganda (in every way) ever made. Examples like Assange are swiftly relegated into obscurity; public support is being grown synthetically; nonsense is being plastered up - history is no longer being written, it's being assembled and exploited, erased and obscured, reconstructed all in real time.

Our central nervous system, like any, seems to be failing but we may find that we can get by somehow without it - at least the smart ones.

Great to see your approach flow through the religious side of things as many don't necessarily allocate enough meaning to foundation of our current situations, like a basement where we keep our unused baggage which weighs us down, to allude to your first point without intending to.

Great read like always
