You aren’t wrong Todd. Some of those approaches are being used—incessantly. I’m not a big voice like those you cite.

But I hope to both ruffle feathers and build bridges. Because all of us—left, right, religious, non religious—are more sure of ourselves than we have a right to be.

We don’t know exactly what to do. We need to make our best guesses and try things.

With some big crises—like our climate destruction—coming to the point of no return—we must not just argue. We must act.

We need a catalyst. I’m no wiser than those you cite. Probably less. But I will do what I can.
