Max, thanks for the nudge to ponder more about our condition. I’ve done some searching. Here's what I found.
This is compelling:
The Great Pause. (I heard of the project before but had forgotten about it — which is in and of itself confirmation that maybe there is something to it).
And this is a dramatic interpretation of that condition we called "normal".
I found
this an intriguing read.
Btw, one of my frustrations with this conversation was that it had drifted so far from the original focus of the thread. Not that I was following it that closely, but it was one of those threads that take on a life of its own. Not a bad thing. More of a rumination than a discussion, I suppose. I was just in the mood to barge.
Have I barged in again? I’m always barging. I
will not barge. I
will not barge. I
will not barge. I
will not barge...
