Polycrisis and hyperobjects are brand new to my lexicon, and helpful words to make sense of these too-big-to-comprehend concepts. Thanks, Spencer. This is an important piece.
Quoting Bertrand Russell - "Most people would rather die than think".
It's a fitting quote because it captures the essence of human nature and ultimately concludes what the challenge for humanity really is - even when we entered into the "polycrisis" era as a collective. I think Daniel Schmachtenberger, John Vervaeke, and Iain McGilchrist did a wonderful discussion on this topic a few months ago. The key takeaway I got from the 3-hour long talk was "we need to make people fall in love with being again". Very true and very hard in the current climate of things.
I need to finish listening to that talk; I listed to a good bit of it, but I love that take away. So powerful, and highly related to my larger interest in disenchantment and re-enchantment. Thank you for sharing.
