How to become incorrigible It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.– Ursula K. Le Guin Earlier this year, Bill Gates published a book about how to stop the next pandemic.

More on abuse, division, and the promise of coherency I am impressed with the diversity and nuance of the comments on Part 1 of the Pandemania series. Super impressed. These are issues that provoke intense emotions, yet people were able to describe their experiences, feelings, and opinions with very little blame, self-righteousness, or dehumanizing labels.

Those who build walls are their own prisoners.– Ursula K. Le Guin Oh my goodness. The social illness that the pandemic launched into its active phase is far from over. That is obvious from the comments on my last post, where I asked for suggestions on how to approach the Covid topic from a post-pandemic […] The post Pandemania, Part 1 first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.

Note to readers: I considered dividing this essay into seven parts, because it is long and in some places pretty dense. So set aside some time to drop in with it. It weighs in at over 8,000 words — just what they recommend to maximize virality. Or maybe that was 800 words. An audio version […] The post Transhumanism and the Metaverse first appeared on Charles Eisenstein.
