“It is, fundamentally, about call and response. Most of the calls are made by predators and parasites, most of the time. These don the garb of heroes, rescuers, and healers. Priests or clergy, too.

Occasionally, in the torrential howl of the advertising of hungry monsters dressed up as liberation, the musical whisper of a call that is meaningful may be detected. But even here, there are mimics.

The world is hungry, and truth rarely advertises. Neither, indeed, does beauty. Listen carefully to the call, and try to determine a simple thing about it’s source: ally or predator? Companion or parasite?”
