I love your description of modern issues in the language of myth. I've come to believe that Jung and the metamyth and comparative anthropology can serve as supplements to our shallow and failing culture.
I think of the news and its connection to manipulation and secret political designs as 'anti-news': you're better informed if you watch none of it then if you watch a lot, because you're free of burdensome and simplistic preconceptions.
Wow. I consider the ACLU and Planned Parenthood to be the most obvious egregores of the day. Abortions are almost always evil and yet these egregores spend millions to change this evil into a quest to s t r e t c h freedom and autonomy out beyond their natural domains. Once the choice to have sex has been chosen, this choice utterly abandons the fundamental right to never reproduce for 10 months.
. . . . Making a broadcast of communications immediately requires these communications to be safe anywhere these communications intrude. The FCC Agency was created in 1934 to ensure public broadcasts on wire(s) or on airwaves by emf signals of radio or television were safe for the public and were not distorted from the original intended communications. I assert Google, Microsoft, pornhub, and xvideos, and millions of others are organized criminal enterprise of egregore creating a type of freedom to speak porn freely and consume porn completely without consequence. Free speech or the need to protect free speech has never justified the Reno v ACLU (1997) factual mistake that created a, “wholly [invented, absurd] new medium for worldwide human [porn] communications”, like our Creator did creating wires and airwaves with His speech. This was the creation of the holy Nternet of porn which created what would be Google violating the sanctity of communications as what would otherwise be a criminal enterprise. Intercepting wire communicstions and selling advertising along with display of summaries and thumbnails of these individual communications despite bypassing adult authentications required to view the images shown in the intercepted thumbnails.
. . . . A publicly shared addiction to free pornography and consequence free sex via abortion. Two evils disguised as respecting individual liberty and autonomy.
I'd prefer “unorthodox” or “unconventional.” I understand that people who have an unusually creative imagination tend to engage in innovative thinking and arrive at novel ideas that markedly differ from the norm. That can make them appear weird to most people and leave others asking, “How did they come up with that?” I was hoping you'd describe some method that would enable others to perform similar intellectual feats.

How many times do you have to be proven wrong before people begin to disbelieve your claims? That's the question I keep asking myself.

How do you come up with these ideas?
I'm weird.

If I could offer something of a method, it would be:
1) Let apparently distinct ideas “have sex” a la Matt Ridley.
2) Get familiar with metaphors and models, where one domain lets us see another domain in a different light.
3) Get comfortable channeling mythic truth, as distinct from literal truth.
4) Cross modalities: logos, pathos, mythos, and ethos.
5) Align the cognitive, the affective, and the visceral (head, heart, and gut).
Thank you. Would you consider writing a paper on this topic?
Gives me a totally new and productive way to imagine the forces acting in our society. Excellent.
Max, tell me you haven't been seduced by The Hundredth Monkey, by Ken Keyes.

No, but I know a guy who hounded me endlessly about that.
