Traditional politics addresses the symptoms but not the causes of our problems; it’s therefore unable to identify the best measures to prevent them or the best measures to solve them. Only a holistic perspective freed of 20th C. prejudices can forge a sustainable path in the 21st

Conversation that dominates US politics is intellectually sophisticated, but not psychologically, emotionally or spiritually sophisticated. As such, it’s an inadequate container for the energy needed to navigate these times. A deeply dysfunctional system needs more than tweaking.

Thanks, Sheryl. I love what you do too. But it's not enough to just embrace the ideas; what has to be embraced are policy changes. One of the ways a status quo defends and protects itself is to co-opt disruptive language.
I love @marwilliamson. I love her ideas. I think she is spot on. And I’m glad to see other democrats, including @CoryBooker, embrace these ideas.

We know how much power can be exerted when those who hate get together, but's it's nothing compared to the power we can release when enough of us who love get together. Here is my talk from Mind Valley: youtube.com/watch?v=zyzo9SB9…

2) Only a massive uprising of the American people - taking their passions to the polls on state, local & federal levels in 2020 and beyond - can override the unjust influence of the new American aristocracy. Only the people ourselves can turn back the tide now and say “No more.”

1) America isn’t functioning as an economic democracy but rather as a veiled aristocracy. For 40 years we’ve been systematically delivering massive portions of the US treasury into the hands of the very few at the expense of the many, causing immeasurable heartache and hardship.

People transform themselves and so do communities. Jefferson, Iowa is a perfect example of what’s happening and what’s possible.
Why Jefferson, Iowa, why now? Congressman @RoKhanna from Silicon Valley, California & Gov. @KimReynoldsIA see Jefferson, with new tech biz, massive K12 and community college project, as model rural city. Come see for yourself Jefferson Available Buildings cdth.secondstreetapp.com/og/…

Rugged individualism is a good thing but it has become too often a rugged narcissism in America. Every cell in the body is meant to collaborate with other cells; so are we. No cell, and no human, is meant to live only for itself. youtube.com/watch?v=zyzo9S…

Perhaps they were individually, but when you look at what we have done with weapons of mass destruction I’m not sure sure that is true collectively. The 20th century is the most violent century in recorded human history. Our barbarism is simply promulgated at arm’s length.
