This whole abstract and meatless WEiRD infection feels so immediately wrong to the body, no matter who you are. It's no wonder they go on psychedelic retreats.

I think this is an excellent lens to explore this through. W.I.E.R.D has been on my list of books to read for a while now, I really must get it. thanks for the reminder!

As a Brit I have to say it amazes us over here what your health care system in the U.S is like. I mean don't get me wrong ours in in shambles and dehumanising too but it will at least keep you alive for free. I thinks sometimes the average American doesn't realise that this is not normal on a global scale and how most other countries in the world have far better systems but they are mired in the tired ideology that America does everything better and are blind to evidence to the contrary. A friend of mine on learning about the American health care system said " I'm so glad I wasn't born in America, it's such a disadvantage and It made me pause because I think most Americans would never imagine that people outside of the U.S might think that way. Anyways I hope this comes cross with love, I genuinely wish everyone in the world free health care and dignity.
