Yeah, I know what you mean Ryan. So much of our lives are based on abstract concepts, like money.

Which means it's dictates by something that isn't real.

Which means we could change the abstract.

Which would change our fate. Like you said, in two minutes. We'd just need the desire and the will to.

Some of us do. Most of us don't. So we're all stuck in how things have always been. Trapped.

Intentional communities are maybe the best bet at this point. As much as you can get out, it would be better; but I think one needs to realize that unless enough of us do the same, at best it's a stopgap.
