Soren, Thank you for your musings. As a former Wisdom 2.0 attendee, I am grateful for you and your leading work and opinions in the field of spirituality. Today, I propose a different opinion on what you have written in the Reign of the Tech Bros. These so-called tech bros are NOT intelligent. In fact, these are the least intelligent folks that I have run across in a long time.

In Western culture, we put too many important concepts into boxes such as the notion that intelligence is a mental capacity to understand and solve problems. I beg to differ. Intelligence is a whole-body, spiritual, emotional and mind capacity that includes self-control, open-mindedness, insight and intuition, creativity, high emotional intelligence, curiosity, understanding, adaptability, critical thinking, good outcome decision-making, empathy (you mentioned this one - yay!), learning, memory, problem-solving, reasoning, wit. The reality here is that we are seeing the removal of nearly all guard rails (a cornerstone for democracy), greed unchecked, no empathy and pure revenge. Yes, it is sad and difficult. It breaks my heart to see how we have allowed this to happen. So let's pull ourselves up as a collective and take the necessary actions to love and have compassion enough for ourselves to move the circus out of our government and begin the hard task of rebuilding - perhaps something even better than before.

I see the lack of Emotional Intelligence and what someone recently called “emotional literacy” is the elephant in the room we do NOT want to talk about. If we applied a trauma informed lense onto this social culture equation, we would also see how FRAGMENTED POLARIZATIONS are the thing that catalyzes the withdrawal into the fantasy world of Artificial Intelligence - the so called brain children of those who had NO SOCIALIZING skills in formative years and were ostracized by their peers.

If we look at what the cult of the tech bros have in common, the story of dysfunctioning imperialist serfdoms and their broken family systems would reveal a great deal about how the end of these stories tend to go. Now that we have lost whatever guardrails our ancient Republic once had, we can look forward to a freefall into strategically designed chaos …as it currently devolves in the year 2025. May those of us who see this truth be Self led and rally our spiritual truths in this collective time and place. Thank you Wisdom 2.0 community. We be lightworkers here and can still hold a lantern in the darkest of times. 🙏❤️
