I am back after my week of gluttony and sloth in Vermont with my parents. Fortunately, I was able to swing a few hours south and hang out for a couple of hours with Zak Stein. I thought I would share that, on a recommendation from Daniel Fraga, I checked out this <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3Fv-3DH652LD60A5k-26feature-3Dyoutu.be&d=DwICAg&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=iWM6YNLcjeGwzTu_cVrlLwvhhu_8QM7dqTRcf2mmlzk&s=mLUrkMjKwUN-_Dt3f7rjeWQEqMHT4gYxPvCI3d_MyIM&e= > short film by Adam Kingsmith and found much to like about it. I was not aware of Marcuse's work on Eros and Civilization, so that is a bonus right there. In the language of the Unified Metapsychology Framework, this is the Primate-Ecology versus Person-Society problem (or the Animal-Mental versus Cultural-Person dimensional alignment, writ large). Now we need to move from this "two part" problem into the three part, Mind, Culture, Digital. This is the problem of the 5th joint point on the Tree of Knowledge System. Tying this back to the film, I have long argued that we needed a way to cultivate lives that intertwine love, work and play with meaning. Or, more metaphorically, we need to build global civilizations that can allow us to cultivate our local Gardens all while allowing Gaia to flourish writ large.
