"Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions; Won't be nothing (won't be); Nothing you can measure anymore; The blizzard, the blizzard of the world; Has crossed the threshold; And it's overturned; The order of the soul"
I did — and I eagerly await your book. This issue is so fundamental. I’m an atheist but the decline in the traditional beacons of morality and in 3D communities and community organizations worries me because it seems to me those beacons and lost communities are being replaced with superficial principles, which seem to leave anxiety, depression, and cynicism and a lack of meaning in life in their wake.
There's no crisis of meaning. There is mere timidity of those too comfortable with their corporate-captured and endorsed paychecks and perqs to actually dip into the United States of Amnesia's Memory Hole and recall that they were likely watching the Trump Side Show during the summer of 2016 rather than replenishing the persuasive skills needed to beat this E-CON Man:
Any of Senator Elizabeth Warren's sessions grilling the Board Chairs and CEO (before he resigned so the Board of Directors directing further Corporate-capture could name Wells Fargo career insider Timothy Sloan to replace serial Fortune 500 CEO Stumpf) on the televised Senate Banking Committee Hearings would've counseled a true opposition to the Corporate-capture of our nation.
Senator Warren and her well-prepared staff led by Oregon's Jr vigorous and youthful Senator Merkley should rightfully have been heading the opposition ticket to Trump's oily and premature closing of the deal for the gig of Commander In Chief of the wealthiest, if also most stratified and impoverished nation in human his\herstory. DNC party elites and their Hi Fi collaborators plucked Biden and his National Security Insurance Policy against assassination, namely current VP Kamala Harris to guard the Neo-Feudal Oligarchy's barricades and gates ever ready to be stormed by the Normalized Homeless and LABOR that sure AIN'T NO Pay2Play political PARTY:
"Senator Elizabeth Warren questions Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf at Banking Committee Hearing."
Senator Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the better prepared young blood opposition party were undercut by DNC party elites. VP Biden was a place-holder as the Rip Van Winkle of the Senate, as Joe Biden was elected to that most exclusive country club when Biden was 27 years old and serving oligarch DuPont family interests in the Legal Fiction state of Delaware putting the national treasury at their service, instead of bringing youth and vigor to his Public Service! That is partly what made an Obama and Wall Street presidency possible and led U.S. to this more treacherous brink:
"Senator Elizabeth Warren's two rounds of questions for Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf at the September 20, 2016 Senate Banking Committee hearing entitled: "An Examination of Wells Fargo’s Unauthorized Accounts and the Regulatory Response." For more information on the hearing, click here:"
See how little attention our body politic and corporate-captured Pay2Play representatives paid to the Senate Banking Committee Hearings into the 2010 massive BIG BANK & HI FINANCE FAILURE requiring tax-payer bail-out. We could've gotten the healing explanations we so desperately need for the Public Forums required to understand what caused that FAILURE OF WALL STREET and LONDON's DEREGULATED market forces. The Western World's imperial follies need freely broadcast PUBLIC FORUMS (with no corporate-captured broadcast sponsors) to lead U.S. to safer harbors than the Perma War course Daddy Warbucks has set so tragically.
We've got a lot to learn and our hardest working most productive LABOR forces need to be leading the market forces into a future that can rectify and heal the damage done by the FINANCIALIZATION and PRIVATIZATION policies of the Neo-Liberal E-CON-O-mic policies that those calling themselves Conservatives in our juvenile and cartel-like political DUOPOLY have also embraced and used as a disastrous litmus test that has impoverished the world and wreaked havoc with natural bounties.
We need a televised and radio broadcast POST MORTEM of these doom-bringing PUBLIC INTEREST policies that have enriched fewer and fewer of the PRIVATE INTERESTs who put their own bank secrecy portfolios ahead of the work that needs to be done on our Normalized Homelessness jammed streets.

I’m very excited to see what Pete has to say about communal ties, their breakdown, and the rising dissatisfaction with liberalism.
I hope you enjoyed our conversation!

What is “Principled Atheism?" Just curious. It seems an oxymoron that deserves discussion. IMO principled atheists are in a real bind.
