Is the universe and human life truly without meaning? If so, can we live our lives in ways that extract meaning from that meaninglessness?
In exploring the four dimensions of change, it becomes clear that we, ourselves, are at the center of that change—and that this process is a lifelong journey, not a sprint.

If we were to take our CRISPR (Clipper of Religion Inspired Systems Producing eco-Renaissance) to snip the best bits of religions to build a new philosophical system, what elements would we harvest?

Going out in nature and walking barefoot has many healing properties. Are you barefoot enough?
What if we started every public gathering with this simple mantra? “Before we begin, let us acknowledge that we are on the infected, lesioned, and festering skin of Gaia.”
