Another fascinating discussion! In our culture, so bound in the reality formed by the language, I find these etymological connections so significant. They are often relegated to interesting novelty as a diversion from the important links they show. I understand the word 'axe' is from the word 'saxon', originally from swords men of that area. Not to mention the pointy blade of the Angles and their etymological relationship to 'the edge' of the continent. As Marshall McLuhan pointed out, the medium is the message and our patterns of civilisation are often an unexpected reflection of our technologies. Thanks guys!

Interesting comparison of hedge-witch (with which I partly identify) and edgelord ... I was an outsider from childhood on who didn't fit w peers until uni, where there were other weirdos like me - but that led to a lifelong outside observer stance on society - opposed to status quo from left, then seeing them turn into totalitarians, so had to abandon them ... The scientists, doctors, and statisticians opposed to the mainstream pandemic narrative kind of identified as outsiders - especially when they got banned online (Great Barrington, Boriquagato, the "mouse army" as in lab mice)

interesting, if a bit slow-moving (which is probably why I talked too much in my Jobcast with you, Luke.) Many threads, as you say; I especially wanted to hear you go more into the idea that any conscious conspiracy is only a surface manifestation of a "systemic agenda" (aka unconscious drive), and the connection between that and Adam's thought about a "collective death wish."

Getting close to the quick of things, gents.

Question for Adam: how does the arrival of the Asuric entities affect the Steinerian trinity? Can Christ still be the balancing point between three forces?
