This was crazy to see live. I’ve never seen such a frank discussion live on the air with someone so closely connected to a fallen regime, while govt buildings are still being burned, in all the chaos. Regardless of the political situation itself, this interview feels like it will be a historical artifact.
On the extortion of sensitivity:
We also live in a culture that has warped sensitivity from the measure of our porousness to life — the openhearted porousness from which all creative work springs — into a means of manipulation, extorting sympathy and slack, unconcerned with creation.
Our mother, The Earth, the green planet has suffered from her children’s violent and ignorant ways of consuming. We have destroyed our Mother Earth like a type of bacterium or virus destroying the human body, because Mother Earth is also a body.
'Once you were a child. Once you
knew what inquiry was for. There was a time when you asked questions
because you wanted answers, and were glad when you had found them.
Become that child again: even now.' —C.S. Lewis
