Aloha Alex, wow! We share a similar side-eye for the increase in dystopian content. What is it about pessimism married with greed that infects our hopes and dreams.

One (of many) deep dystopian roots is an ancient tool to maintain control. Divide and conquer. Pit hope against propaganda. Keep folks fractured while those who believe they have power continue their orgy to maintain power.

As more souls awaken to the reality that they are -in and of themselves - powerful . . .

As more awakened, powerful souls learn and embrace tools of grace, compassion, and equity - evolution (versus revolution) happens.
