I am all for a contagious, renewed kind of sanity; not sure about transfigured. One of things that is so scary now is Trump facing major crises around the world with no knowledge or curiosity about history. I agree with you about how much hope matters during these times. Thanks for sending your thoughts.
Thank you for this, Elliott. I've just released a book today with a whole bunch of mental health vignettes -- of my own 'manic mind'! https://tinyurl.com/2rkez486
May we nurture the emergence of a Reality 3 which, not a synthesis of Realities 1 and 2, but a contagious sort of sanity, able to out compete the toxic bloom of Reality 2? To post-moderns (of which the Trumpists are card-carrying members), all is relative shades of mad, conspiracies everywhere, and "sane" is just another mad game not worth the candle. With no faith in reality, all stances are but competing dreams (and nightmares) to them. Yet a new reality, a new sanity, must be possible, a renewed model for both civilization and ecological wildness. Who are the psychologists to collaborate in shaping the hoped for future of renewed, transfiguring sanity? The hunger, the market for hope is substantial and widespread. Who will bring honest goods to this market?
