Wonderful and illuminating conversation! The thinking behind Connective Tissue and behind Pete's work are pointing to not only a revival of communitarianism but a recovery of the idea of tikkun olam, repair of the world, applied in a new, wider sense. We are leaving behind the old models of technocracy and neoliberal capitalism with all their failed metrics and illusory rationalism--which makes some feel disoriented. It feels as though a non-specific spirituality--which is necessary to sustain us--could be emerging, what Pete is invoking when he mentions "the prophetic" . Repair or die!
