I'm so glad you had Stan on as a guest. My favorite quote from "Ministry" is:
“My body worked so well that eventually all things everywhere were swallowed and digested by me. I grew so large that I ate the world, and all the blood in the world is mine. What am I? You know, even though you are like everything else, and see me from the inside. I am the market.” ― Kim Stanley Robinson
Oooh I look forward to listening to this one. I’ve had a break (good for the psyche) for a while but have some catching up to do, you’ve had some great interviewees recently.
I think the “story” is a very important issue, maybe one of the biggest issues. Hope you’re doing well Nate!
“There's nothing fundamentally wrong with people. Given a story to enact that puts them in accord with the world, they will live in accord with the world. But given a story to enact that puts them at odds with the world, as yours does, they will live at odds with the world. Given a story to enact in which they are the lords of the world, they will ACT like lords of the world. And, given a story to enact in which the world is a foe to be conquered, they will conquer it like a foe, and one day, inevitably, their foe will lie bleeding to death at their feet, as the world is now.”
