I don’t know why people think Shinto or Animism are something they should use to mock Will’s point. Consciousness is the Hard Problem, and I doubt it’s going to be solved by amateurs arguing ideology on Bluesky dot app.

Grandpa one was a minister (in a line of six generations of ministers). Grandpa two was a charmer who spent his and everyone else’s money.

Never met either of them.

I do have a great grandfather who started the east Texas bluegrass society, and I’d very much have liked to have met him.

I truly don't love watching everyone in the industry I spent 20 years working in turn into nazis! It didn't have to turn out this way. We all started as gift economy ideologues.
