Summary: Around the fire of the Anomie Patrol today Ranger discusses the normal inclination for mankind to improve his world. The drive toward better living conditions, social conditioning, and understanding reality has taken us from hunter gathering tribes to space walking nations. But the dream of “utopia”, while providing much, has its pitfalls. The practical need to “change things” can fall prey to “wishful thinking”, and a personal “dystopia” can be the result. Ranger’s societal “lie of the day” study today is: Emotions=>truth (thats “emotions are equal to or greater than truth”). And as always Ranger finishes up with some practical steps to increase your personal agency.
