Humanity seems to be in a bigger and bigger rush.

Mortality salience?

And doubling down on regressive belief systems, leading to greater polarization and split complementarities, behavioral enactment and heightened risk.

This heightened risk exerts a quasi-internally-generated force and a quasi-externally-experienced force, further pushing the system away from the current equilibrium position, and into uncertain territory.

Further from the stable valley are other peaks and other, deeper valleys. Some of the valleys are nested among the peaks, while others are deep in places where a bottomless singularity is a singular risk.

How we navigate this landscape... what is the consciousness there, how coherent, how nascent... is anybody's guess and choice.
