Enjoying these! On this point: "On these occasions, reading and watching the official reaction, and then looking around you, can feel as though there’s a verison of Ireland that exists only in the media and has a political life entirely distinct from the one we actually live in day to day." What do you make of the argument that this is the same trend you would have seen a lot of in 70s and 80s ireland where civil society was de facto assumed to be liberal Catholicism, rather than the progressive liberalism we have today?
I think it goes way back past the 70s and 80s but yes for sure. I think as well as relying on that psychological architecture there’s something expedient about it as well from a government pov- pawning all the hard and expensive decisions that should be within your remit off on 3rd parties you can disown/ throw under the bus. Keep meaning to write about it but haven’t had the chance
I'm Irish does that make me still a citizen? I definitely favor the guide of weather Ireland has!
I'm trying to save civilization with a knowledge Renaissance that the monks say they got from Jesus. (Try reading my article titled: the Magnificent roots of this Paradigm of the monks, and also: guess what just happened).
That sounds challenging especially since our experts are so proud of themselves, but we end up seeing that the monks are explaining mystery after mystery after mystery, while our intellectuals are claiming crazy things and then announcing that they cannot understand 95% of the universe using these crazy ideas.
I'm concerned that we will settle into violence if we can't solve our problems easily. For example how can we improve batteries if we have everything wrong about the structure of atoms and what electrons are doing and don't even have a clue why things chemically react. We just are too ignorant to solve our problems right now. For example our lives are becoming dependent on computer chips that they're trying to make smaller and smaller and therefore we need to know exactly what is going on between these electrons and these doped surfaces of the chip. We simply do not understand any of it !!
Maybe somehow we can work together and write something or do something or take advantage of your social skills? This is too important to leave to chance. I've been failing way too long and have to turn to social media somehow to get this out. Can I borrow your audience somehow or do you have a better idea of how to do this?

That G8 photo has a Reservoir Dogs vibe.
It’s great. “Yep that’s me… i guess you’re wondering how I got here…”
