As usual, I have several manifestos at various stages of unfinished-ness that I keep ego-trapping my way out of publishing here, and once enough time goes by on them they get tossed on the ash heap of forever-unfinished-manifestos. I get very irritated with other people when they do the same thing, but trust me when I say this comes from a place of immobilizing perfectionism rather than derelict sloth.
Amazing. I'm reading LOTR too! and I read the Great Divorce a few years ago. I've been exploring Christianity, after 35 years as an atheist. weird stuff.
I think Jonathan Haidt would argue that it's easy to loose a shared worldview because social media largely replaced people socializing and it largely incentivized hostility and tribal group identity with no constraints.

I stumbled upon it and it's pretty good.
