    Finally! Someone says what I’ve been thinking about this light and love and truth in the end! That supporting that sentiment "feels good," – you are right. It’s comforting bullshit! All through history, truth and love always won – yeah, right. That’s never worked for a majority of tribal peoples.

    I would love to hear an entire ROMA episode with your take on other careers killed by the #metoo movement.

    Secondly, the man was hugely influenced by the Theosophycal teachings of Madame Blavatsky and such, so maybe he believed that ultimately there’s a hidden hand guiding humanity toward a luminous future. A future that doesn’t come without a painful learning curve, which would coincide with Bruce Damer’s transcendental thinking.
