Almost eight months ago, I shared on Substack an essay I originally wrote and published in 1993, “The Reality Manifesto.”
I've long thought we need a new mythology to restore the promise of America. This post made me think of this.

On Yeats:
"about the potential for using magical ritual to rekindle the Irish spirit, invoke the gods of old Irish paganism, and bring about a cultural and political resurgence in Ireland that would make the country’s independence a foregone conclusion."
Indeed, we must stop denying our inherent magic (for starters).
Thank you, William.
It all started and starts with the word.
"In reality, the two-party system is like a puppeteer wearing a Democratic puppet on his left hand and a Republican puppet on his right."

Susan Sontag, when commenting long ago on the thesis of the 2-party-system being composed of 2 competing beasts, said likewise to you.
[paraphrase]
'It's not 2 separate beasts, but a single 2-headed-monster.'

What to do, what to do ??
