Thank you, Michael. Resonated so much I screenshot your pic and posted the following to my IG page:

Spot-on insight from Michael Warden’s latest post. I appreciate how he puts to words what so many of us (certainly me) are feeling. A few other excerpts:

• Covid changed us… It infected us with fear, though we were already quite sick with that particular malady. Mass media has seen to that; or rather, the voracious appetite of corporate greed acting through mass media.

• As soon as the money makers realized that fear holds our attention better than anything else, the entire media landscape started sounding alarms and pointing fingers. They’re raking in billions stoking our fear and suspicion of one another.

• Fear is now so ubiquitous in our public spheres we don’t even recognize it in ourselves anymore. We only see it in “them.”

• What kind of world do *you* want to create?

• Maybe it’s fear that drives my fixation. After all, if enough of you only want to destroy “them” at all costs, then destroy them you will, and all of us along with them.

• Because, you know, in the end there is no “them,” really; there’s only us.
