What a wonderful resource you've created here Ruth & Peco. I especially love the "Return" graphic you've put together - it creates an empowering future of "having" something, and lessens the focus of only "taking away" a toy that we're all addicted to.

Somewhere humanity did go off course - and I find a trend with wars and the collective trauma societies experienced, with a response to quell their shock with consumerism.

For ex: the Age of Electricity and telegraph began after the Civil War, radio along with WW1, radar with WW2, satellites in the cold war/ vietnam, and 5G in the post 9-11 war of the individual. Anxiety began with Freud and electricity:

Thanks Roman! I was trying to visualize a return without just listing it with words. This painting by van Gogh has been meaningful to me since my teen years, and captures that all of these changes will need to start with small seeds and hard work.
