I got some interesting comments on my recent article about the need to disengage ourselves from unhelpful cultural patterns of materialism, tribalism, short-term thinking, and worshiping the free market. Some people found it revelatory. One person said I was sanctimonious.

@bodhipaksa @davidnjoku For me, it's all about contact with more people and practice. Regularly without the dogma but in and around things...
It just seems to be natural for humans to have human contact (#tribalism included), while I hope people study in their own time also but it is tied to motivation if we talk to someone live about it.
So the more practice we get with humans and link things I think it's overall better. at least check them out and report back somewhat as feedback.
Steering clear of obvious things helps but seems like that's almost everything for some people in if good enough).
Basically people explaining it and not just having text or donation buttons, really helps be more personal.
Any article is a lot better explained sometimes (can be before or after reading) rather than the mediums that are less-human almost always being the way. These have obvious limits of reach and understand and most people don't want to spend the time or have enough.
With a person you can jump in and ask, hear tone etc... I feel that's a good #investment long term.
I guess I'm saying the time is now to talk 1 by 1 with everyone good... money / text ain't always enough or the right way.
DM me if you like...
