"We will raise rates until the skeletons buried underneath us rise from the ground”, is just the stunningly accurate hyperbole that really makes this info not just interesting, but really irresistible. Bravo
I want to vibe on this quote "And we don’t really know how to process our emotions, especially in the context of big things like The Future."...But I want to emphasize the lack of emotional regulation. In trauma speak we would call that dysregulation. Kyla I think your making a really interesting and sophisticated observation that our society is pretty dysregulated which kinda tells you that folks are really enmeshed in some collective trauma/co-dependent relationship with our economic/social system. Since the tendency is not to observe our interconnectedness we tend to not notice interconnected commonly held pain.
Great writing Kyla. "The economy is narrative, narrative is emotion. " Intriguing... and I partly agree. I would love to hear you talk a bit more about this in the future.🙏🏼
(Disclaimer: I'm a cellist, not an economist, but that means I've spent a lot of time reverse-engineering the non-rational logics of human decision-making, and that's what my outline is about)

Nice post, thanks! I've linked an outline that resonates. It sketches what might be a useful line of attack on the problem:

thank you for referencing Neil Postman! All of his stuff is worth reading.
