Installing (Social) Order 
Loving this post: “The goal would be to defeat neoliberalilsm, to curtail climate change through radical changes in the energy grid and ethos of consumption, to reduce inequality, and to install a more vibrant pluralist spirituality into democratic machines that have lost touch with the vitality of being.” Sound like the only plan — sketch of plan — forward.

I do find much joy in reading Bill’s work. He is trying to capture some of the evangelical resonance that works so productively for the right and harness it for the left. I always some hope that we maybe we can do this thing after all.
