COMMUNITY 9/24/2023

This week has been a week of smoke from fires in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Global warming? The picture above is from November 10TH, 2019 of smoke from home wood fires in the mountains near Los Gatos. Spare the Air days were here. What are WE doing going to do about it?

Our nervous system was designed to survive and evolve from connection with others as mutual support. However we seem more and more distant from one another and more reliant on things and machines. What we know about the cerebral cortex is its very function (our survival as a species) is dependent on social connection. Diminished function will happen with less and less cooperative connection with each other.

We are at a crisis point. Now AI and what will be important?? Our communities or collections of tech that further isolates us from one another and our care for the planet that sustains us? We need to return to being in relationship with one another for our very survival. Our resilience will diminish without a community. Our nervous system without social support will down regulate out of increased fear. Social interactions recruit neural circuits that support health, growth and restoration.

A World Dependent on Social Media for Connectedness! “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots”. Albert Einstein.

Please join a community that supports our relationships as our survival depends on it.
