Eric I can identify with the idea Prophets in youth changed a lot of things in terms of becoming aware "we have to look at the planet and ecology and we can't just be numb servants to the grind."
The whole hippie thing was peace and love and don't kill mother earth.
WHY, then, after all this time - if the Prophet was so united in this (which I can accept that!) - why has more shitting on the planet happened on their watch than ever before (exclude the idea of a more industrialized world)?
All of the things you touch on about the values, but it seemed to me the Prophet also then became the carpetbagger and went back on their vision of green things and empty space and room to take a wild uninterrupted trip. Rhett mentioned they "sold out". They, themselves, became what they hated in corporate overmongers. They ultimately come chose the expensive private jet without caring the emissions.
How did this happen? I think it happened because they just can't agree on anything. And I thin the cause of that is because they lead too hard with their values. Prophet has built homes of their values and are guarding it with their life. Claimed land and made structures and drawn battle lines which cannot be crossed. They took possession of the land and saw themselves, the enemy, on the other side of the field. In war, who can legislate? There is a values war in Prophet that has always been there.
How, if it began as a united front to resolve those issues, how after all this time and they are at MORE THAN PEAK occupancy of power, how is THIS the hardest time to get anything accomplished?
Ppl need to take responsibility. Ppl just cannot understand a united world not juiced in values but actually based in pragmatic problem-solving.
Eric, can you talk a little bit about what, if at all, you think is the difference between values and pragmatism?
