Automation compassion?
I seriously wonder who is building solutions for all the people that will soon be out of work, left with no career opportunities and totally stressed out by the rise of "naked automation"? (A.I with no regard/alternative plan for the humans it replaces). The technologists & capitalists have no answers to offer what so ever.

The power of relaxation
Those interested in solutions to wicked problems (biodiversity/climate/culture/politic/econ/tech chaos) that focus on "first principles" might see the elephant in the room: Relaxation is key. All those problems share 1 thing: At the center are people that are extremely stressed.

Stand in Line
The quickest, most effective way to get human beings to “fall in line” in both accepting AND exercising behavioral norms (no matter how new or nonsensical) is to literally make us form and wait in a line. An innate, preprogrammed desire for obedience kicks in when we are queued.

"Progress" is not a inevitable law of nature - but series of decisions people make. Keep that in mind when "experts" try to sell you an "inevitable" future scenario. "I'm not against progress, I'm just against your kind of progress".

Don't let your life & dreams, your awareness & intention, be moved even a bit by the omnipresent projections of immanent doom & gloom made by the army of 'experts'. Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing - and forgive yourself, for there are no others. Simply deeply relax & be still to realize that that this lifetime is short & precious. Watch your thoughts, words, actions & habits - as they become your reality. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

Consumerism is globally the dominate form of religion and spiritually in the early 21st century.
Modern consumerism comes packaged in many forms, often disguised as "scientific technological progress". It promises its devoted disciples instant salvation through the constant accumulation of more more more more more more more more more more more more more more. In the words of George Carlin: "We buy shit we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like."
