notes/quotes from 1 min clip:
what i did was follow the call of my heart
huge: need a means to undo our hierarchical listening.. so we can legit hear what is already on each heart
ie: there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of that global detox leap/dance.. for (blank)’s sake..
i couldn’t stay silent in these ongoing acts of mass murder by us govt in my name
i felt like i have a duty to the truth.. which is that..
we have the power to end these wars today
humanity needs a leap.. to get back/to simultaneous spontaneity .. simultaneous fittingness.. everyone in sync.. the dance
we the people in whose name these murders are being committed.. we’ve got the power and the responsibility to non violently withdraw our support/cooperation from the system/regime which is prosecuting (?) these acts of murder in our name.. and if we do that we can end them..
