First day of spring and northern Florida glimmers in jade, emerald and every kind of green leaf color and loads of pink. The birds are returning and the trill of the northern parula challenges the Carolina wrens. Our evil empire continues to support killing children in Gaza, and spinning fake narratives left and right. A little blue heron just landed in our marsh and sits next to a turtle.

Focus on midterm elections and getting the Zionist lobby out of our politics. Lean left on class issues and stop emphasizing division. Democracy is messy and the oligarchs have overreached. Going for a walk!

That the trajectory of your interests have recently led you to focus more on beliefs makes sense to me. And taking a one step at a time approach is really all we can ever do as much as we might 'believe' that we can plan for or avert disasters. I say stick with your group of women friends!

Nate - just wanna say I appreciate the heck outta you, man. This frankly, in my opinion, hits the nail on the head regarding what is needed alongside our analytic stance towards the metacrisis: heart.

Just a real pleasure hearing you talk about matters of the heart and soul from time to time. Please continue doing this alongside all the other incredibly important work that you’re doing. It has an impact that is much greater than any of us can conceive.

YES, NATE. Thank you for continuing to share so sincerely. Our disconnection from our feelings are an enormous, foundational part of drivers of the entangled crises we face. People like you (with the extensive technical and systemic knowledge) speaking openly about *feelings* is a too-rare and much-needed dimension of our learning and understanding. Our feelings are spectacularly powerful and deserve a seat at the table. My feelings right now: awe, respect and gratitude for you. Also a bit of hunger. It's lunchtime in Aotearoa/NZ

Thanks Nate. Big Love

I am also experiencing the grief caused by the light of freedom dimming in the United States. My hope for humanity comes from the light of freedom burning in the Ukraine and with it the knowledge that the US has done its part by passing this torch. Materialism is destroying the Earth and we must go beyond the desire to compete as a nation.

yes, our brains are inherently bi-polar because it mirrors the physical world of polarities. I'm particularly fond of Para-logical thinking which seeks to reconcile the polarities and can hold all of this in balance. Tim Freke coined the term and he'd be an excellent guest for the show as he is one of the wisest sages of our time.

Excellent "Frankly" as usual Nate. Loved that you invited Ian McGilchrist too. Keep feeling and playing and sharing habibi!
