I thought that might lead to a clue for me as to how to proceed conversationally. I asked her to explain the significance ( to her) of this firing. I knew the name, had a feeling he’s someone I don’t admire, but did not have enough to say on the topic to continue this conversation. The day Tucker Carlson got fired, a woman with whom I was working on a project – not a close friend or she’d know my difficulties with the liberal lingua franca – announced this “news” to me. Looking just at one disaster looming – the coming Presidential election – the two candidates – not yet decided but more or less so, both playing to their base, awesomely lacking in qualities of leadership –Ĭan there be a shadow of a doubt? The Catastrophe is here. It’s not like anything humanity has done before” It’s true! And it’s so big and so difficult, so long-term, and …so profit-less that it’ll take all the strong religious faith we human beings can muster to make it happen. We need to become the adult species that the Destiny can help us become! “…We need purpose! We need the image the Destiny gives us of ourselves as a growing, purposeful species. – Lauren Olamina, in Parable of the Talents, by Octavia Butler
