  • Summary

  • There's an old Chinese phrase that goes, "It's better to be a dog in peaceful times than a man in a time of chaos."

    Wishful thinking, some may call that, for it's difficult to see peaceful times at any moment in human history. Most of us with a bit of life experience hearken back to when times were easier, and end up moralizing to any who will listen that our times back then were superior. And while that may be superficially true, it's not all that helpful. And complaining doesn't make the young fold feel any better.

    In fact, your and old may just end up pointing fingers at each other as to who's to blame for the world as it is.

    We'd like to dip our feet into those tumultuous waters in this podcast to suggest that all those lamentations and blame apportioning miss the fundamental point: we've been on an inverted path for millennia. We've reached the end of the road in a literal sense.

    Can any sense be made of the correct way to go now?

    Love, Consciousness and the Troubled World, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head.
