OK this is probably THE BEST synthesis of Alt-Middle sensemaking I've seen, from my friend David Fuller and Rebel Wisdom. Absolutely worth your time, they talk hive minds, bias, tribalism, Malone, Rogan, Thesis/Antithesis/Synthesis, mindfulness, and MUCH MORE. VP, Marty, and I make a cameo around the 1 hour mark 🔥
To me, this is the heart of what we are trying to do with the Alt-Middle way.
I came home from work the other afternoon to find this precious trio (with mom) standing to the right of my driveway. They were so tiny! So cute!
In the middle of the night when your past misdeeds come back to berate you, you should do two things:
1. Honor the lessons and realize that it is because you're a better person now and be thankful of that!
2. See that persons who do harms against you and others are harming themselves more. Others are as yourself in the need compassion. Just as you needed compassion when you were in dark times, everyone needs compassion.
We are all a moment. We are not :that" moment, or a "future" moment. We are "this" moment!
