I was actually thinking of him just the other day when I realized that over the last decade or two that I've started to think of my philosophy as "Shithouse Earth" from when Jim Morrison said he was just looking to get his kicks in before the whole shithouse went up in flames. I've noticed that that seems to be how we all operate now, though not many will admit it; perhaps not even to themselves.

Quite a long way we've come from Fuller's Spaceship Earth ideas indeed.

You captured it

I’m noticing it migrating into something more zen, I look to fully experience each day

Probably has to do with growing older as well

Growing up there was a sense that changing how the world worked was just out of reach, the birth of the PC & Internet made it seem like just a matter of time

Now I appreciate more and more how very far out of my control it all is

Which has helped me zoom in on where my choices do make an impact

I wouldn’t say I’m more optimistic because of it, but I am more grateful
