[All] MYTHOS AND LOGOS: A DARK MOUNTAIN TALK

[Robert Milligan]

Peter,

Definitely WORTH a listen.

Re: your Kingsnorth quote, may I say this: we all have to work --  
individually &/or collaboratively --  on a new story, or dream, or  
purpose, or strategic direction, or ... , because without an  
appropriate story, etc., the number zero for our species and most  
complex Life will be enough. And that new story, ... will of necessity  
involve a greater emphasis on discovering/advancing/evolving/... our  
Individual to Universal consciousness/unconscious.

Kingsnorth seems like a very interesting and relevant thinker as also  
indicated in:

society' - Green living - The Ecologist
