Donna Tartt, from The Goldfinch (2013)

"The language of myth is still, as ever, the secret speech of the inarticulate human soul; and if one has learned to listen to this speech with the heart, then it is not surprising that Aeschylos and Plato and Heraclitus are eternal voices and not merely relics of a bygone and primitive era. Perhaps it is now more than ever important to hear these poetic visions of the orderly nature of the universe, because we have grown so dangerously far from them. The mythic perception of the universe governed by immutable moral as well as physical law is alive and well in the unconscious…" ~Liz Greene, "The Astrology of Fate"
Dancing Nymphs ~ 1920's ~ Blendon Reed Campbell (American painter, 1872-1969)

things we need to address:
- gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc
- the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests
- the broad effect social media has on public and common good
- lazy minds and lack of empathy
- outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)
- the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation
Worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin (2018), dir. Arwen Curry
The next line of her speech is also great: “Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”
gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem
girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor

new reason to stay alive: outlive the trump presidency, live to see the day he's guaranteed to never be in office ever again and make sure he knows that he'll never have enough power to kill you
stay strong, friends, this isn't your fault
