Cool. Here's an even bigger list of the deep fields we want to dance in!\n\n**Now let's bring in other threads of a radical materialist/radical matriarchal feminism. A quick brainstorm:**\n\nour physical world, our sciences for understanding it, the social and genetic elements of human traits and behaviors, how to interact with our biology wisely, how to change money and work so that it supports life rather than wealth, socialization and epigenetics, porn and para-social male bonding, what makes better men better, the planet's limits and how to live regeneratively in a globalized world, ...
