[FRIAM] Conspiracy and Myth: Was Scientific Truth, Climate Change, Magic and COVID19

[Steve Smith]

I think there is something in here for both what I take to be Glen's and
Dave's perspectives as well as many others...

I get a little weirded out when he talks about Rupert Sheldrake, but
virtually everything else he discusses I find hard to suppress.   And
after Sheldrake, he prescribes visiting enemy territory "as a respectful
guest, not a hostile spy", which helped me re-read his passage about
Sheldrake more thoughtfully.

If Eisenstein's mode is interesting to you, I recommend the David Abrams
recent conversation with him which also spends a lot of time on "Magic"
which I think needn't confront anyone's sensibilities.   They also cover
some of the larger issues framing Climate Change in what I find to be a
very enlightened way that might be easier for (mild?) deniers to hear
and a more expansive/productive way for Climate Change Enthusiasts to hear.
