"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. loved it." - C. S. LEWIS

That's why we need MORE myths! More stories, more narratives!

I would strongly suggest you Max that your children watch Avatar the legend of Aang. A fascinating story, well written characters and one mission. The free the world from a tyrants. They feature a Saoshyant and a secret society called the white lotus (Grey Robes vibes). Even you might enjoy watching it!

Fritz, both my boys love it! They talk to me about it all the time, though the original, not the live action version.

Yes. The original is a masterpiece. They even have a musical tour around the world on these days. Looks like a religious experience. With stories like this being a shared cultural point, those 20 years become 5. It's happening Max, we are all becoming more and more cosmopolitans

I want to see you rewrite the legend of Pachacútec and have it be made into a series!

Working on it ⚒️💪 but before I forget it. I would love to suggest that you watch with your kids the anime The Vinland Saga. It's a tale of vikings that realize the importance of Exit (Hirschman) as a way to scape their violent never ending war. It's a masterpiece in the principle of non-violence. Even though there is a lot of it at the beginning of the series

Well, I'm glad it's a non-Calvinist redemption. All can be saved (at least in this telling).

I balk slightly at even this positive use of the term 'propaganda'... Of course, it is still better than the improperganda we have to endure elsewhere! 😁
