We live in a state of perpetual confusion because our world has two ends without a middle. The middle - where most humans live - is increasingly becoming invisible.
The two ends - the manholes - are clear for all to see:
Elite Power and Powerlessness
Collectives and Individuals
Rapid Change and Bulwark Resistance
Internet of Things and Internet of Mind
Waste and Need
Tolerance and Intolerance
As you read this little riff you will no doubt elucidate more of these book-end in your mind. There are too many to list here.
My life today is blessed with the glowing twilight of aging. Building on a humble past and looking ahead to an expansive future - I will live the remainder of my life inside the invisible middle.
The only qualification required to live inside the invisible middle is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas [notions, theories, thought patterns, etc] in your head at the same time.
Given that most humans were not parented, educated, or mentored in that skill I am aware that you [my reader] must find your own way to that mindset or mind-space.
I have co-opted a well known philosophy, technique, or state-of-being called 'minimalism' to help me get there.
