Meeting ID: 872 4330 6100
Passcode: 459487
Summary:
Kunstler takes you on a deep dive through the broken consensus about reality now be-setting the nations of Western Civilization in the essential matters of economy, politics, and culture. We have a lot of repair work to do in our own minds before we can coherently face the challenges to everyday life coming at us. He lays out the problems with precision and then addresses the intelligent responses to them. He emphasizes the physical arrangement of life on the terrain of North America: the changes we apt to see in the patterns of cities, suburbs, small towns, and the rural landscape. You are allowed to laugh.
