“Biographies won’t matter when waves are washing over our cities. Answering personal questions encourages people to think that the game can continue. The game is ending, nearly all of us have lost, and even for the few who won, it’s a Pyrrhic victory, a first-class cabin on a sinking ship. It’s long past time to start telling people the truth. In the near future, it will not matter where you came from or how popular you were. What will matter is how well you can cooperate with others because survival will require cooperation on a scale that’s currently inconceivable. The only story that matters now is the story of how we finally stopped burning fossil carbon and became a more enlightened species.”

It was thought in many cultures that only females can be shamans, so male practitioners had to adopt a female identity by cross-dressing, etc. Also, in tantrism, the “reversal of senses” plays an important role – you do exactly the reverse of what is socially accepted, a spiritual practice that aims at the overcoming of life’s duality by assimilating its negative and neglected aspects. That’s exactly what I also did with Zero Kama.”
