    Sooo well described. The love/ grief/ joy of being part of this rare vital biosphere, yet destroying it. How people do not want to feel it. The great need for rest, for the planet & humans. Indigenous cultures lived mostly in Dream Time. So they didn't noticel3ack of poptarts, cars, flatscreen life, whiskey or guns or riding mowers. The whites called them "indigent " & decided to addict them to firearms & liquor, so they'd hafta work. I heard this on "back story," Virginia public radio.

    Couldn't resist checking it out with such a basic and important inquiry. You appear quite comfortable with sharing your willingness to seek an alternative to the label architect. I was expecting a thesis in philosophy. I appear to be at a loss for describing the attributes acquired from your course of study without association to a pun. Suffice to say, reason and logic, parlayed with honesty puts you in a rarified group of thinkers. I won't be surprised if at some point you solve a problem that required your combined talent, I wish you well.

      Hey George, I could make it clearer with a channel description or intro, these conversations aren't about providing universal answers or prescriptions around "the good life" just people's musings, reflections and thoughts on their own lives and what a good life is for them personally. I've interviewed 170 people to date around it and it is also just to share more genuine conversations and encourage people's own personal inquiry. Thanks for the comment!
