7/ X amplifies both truth and lies. Interrogate the narrative. Be discerning, like debugging code. Past generations missed their revolutionary chance. Don't miss yours. #SeizeTheDay It's only through your own #MessianicPower that you enter the gates to Paradise. #NewWorldCreation
@holdengraber Epistemic, such refusal to confront reality and, concomitantly, its trivializing 'depthlessness' (Jameson) 'allergic to meaning' (Eagleton) incapable of recognizing, never mind enacting, a coherent response to our polycrisis. So, we rise as 'a new form of revelation.' (Panikkar)

Passage boundary: Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. Copy of tweet here: There is alas nothing more normal than to refuse to believe that a cataclysm — even when it is staring in your face — is about to engulf your life.
