from Charles Marohn of Strong Towns:
“Abundance is a powerful idea. But what kind of abundance? And who decides?
Derek Thompson and Ezra Klein’s new book, Abundance, is a thoughtful, energetic call to reform the systems holding us back. Housing, infrastructure, clean energy -- it’s all stuck -- and the book rightly asks: why can’t we build?
I agree with much of the diagnosis. But I’ve seen this movie before. From The Lexus and the Olive Tree to JC Nichols’ “Planning for Permanence,” the belief that smart people can fix complex systems from the top down has a long, seductive history and a deeply fragile legacy.
The Strong Towns approach offers something different. Not bigger reform from above, but a culture of bottom-up action. A belief that better decisions come from local feedback, iteration, and care, not from confidence in the machine.
This isn’t about “local control” as a sacred principle. It’s about local capacity: the ability for communities to solve problems at the scale of lived experience. We’re not anti-state or anti-policy. We’re anti-fragility. A system that only works when the “right people” are in charge isn’t strong enough.
Start with a local challenge.
Shift the narrative.
Show one example.
Build on success.
Abundance asks us to empower others to fix what we already have the power to change. We think you don’t need to wait for permission.”

we empty ourself out but our temple is not clean we attract disturbed energies. Only if we’ve cleaned the inner temple can the higher emanations enter in, as even the smallest speck of fear will keep the Divine from entering. It’s like the idea of the unicorn, who won’t touch anything impure, and if it does, it’ll die. If we wish to invite a unicor
