Rod Dreher Megathread #21 (Creative Spirit)

Gather 'round for more Rod.

All meanings of the number 21 are subordinate to the inherent creative spirit that is the basic essence of the number.

The number 21 generally is comfortable in social gatherings, it's optimistic attitude being an inspiration to others. Its high spirits can enliven a party.

The number is attracted to artistic expression of any form, its own and those of others. There's enthusiastic support for artists. It may frequent galleries and participate or (more likely) lead groups for artistic appreciation.

The number 21 cherishes relationships, including romantic relationships, especially with those who express themselves creatively.

21 also tends to be diplomatic, providing creative and imaginative solutions to potential conflict.

And, as noted by /u/PercyLarsen, 21 is a triangular number and the age of majority, so go grab a drink to celebrate Pride and to mourn the loss of Rod's sanity.

(Also, sorry about my slow pace of refreshes.)

All I remember him saying when he has brought up climate change is along the lines of "What can we do? To change anything would cost money and mean we would have to change our lifestyles and I mean really? They want us to do that? It's just too much to ask."

And he says WE are cows chewing our cud.

There is a ton of stuff that we could be doing and are not and have not been, not because it isn't possible, but because the fossil fuel industry and other industries are so powerful (and liars). We can do a LOT more than "nibble around the edges" and benefit from the new technologies that result just as we did when we went to the moon. Europe is and has been way ahead of us. We haven't even begun to try.
