Physician, heal thyself.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

The Crumbling Foundations

In Canada, George Orwell’s Animal Farm was part of our junior high English curriculum. What do Americans read?

The Deconstruction

Psychological priming: a person with the last name Bau (Cantonese, “abalone”; German, “to build”) will become a designer obsessed with the Bauhaus and wonder how a socialist modernist movement to transform society might have a connection to the American capitalist democratic experiment dominated by white supremacist fundamentalists who try to assume power through a Republican evangelical voting block. A podcast by deconstructing evangelicals will contribute to the idea of a builders collective involved in the reconstruction of society as a living system in harmony with its natural environment.

A corporation is a company or a group of people or an organization authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.

The Reconstruction

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.

— R. Buckminster Fuller
