I love this post as it also beautifully sums up my feelings about the world, and how we navigate the future. We just need to tell better stories than the ones on offer right now. Which I think is mostly a case of honing a craft, finding what matters and telling stories that work to affect change in that direction.

Have you looked at the current work of Will Storr? I have a free month Subs I’ll happily share with you, if you wish (PM me if so)

Thanks for the post Solitaire.

Thanks Nico - I’m so glad it resonated! I was lucky enough to do a weekends story training with Will a few years ago and it really improved my writing!

Lovely stuff! I’m hoping to gather enough finds together to do the same this year too. 😊

This “story about stories” weaves together so much hope for me. Both in terms of our human capacity to rewrite the story of our future, and the unique role that the neurodivergent people I care about to lead it. Thank you Solitaire!

This essay could start a revolution! I wish I could share it with the whole world, or at least see discussion groups started about it, everywhere
