Shifting It

A lot of people lately are thinking about what I call โ€œnew mindsโ€ and what Aurora Asknes calls โ€œa different kind of humanโ€ and others are calling โ€œradical cultural change.โ€

Despite the name, weโ€™re all pondering the same shift. Itโ€™s necessary yet inobvious to most, despite other radical cognitive transmogrifications in human history. Thereโ€™ve been 5-6 of these re-alignments by my count, with the last one being 50-100 years after the advent of the printing press.

Of course, some academic fuckwit 50 years behind the times will in the judgment of history get all the credit for โ€œdiscoveringโ€ this shift, while Aurora and I will get nothing. But still, I like being right more than I like being recognized.
