Personal Growth in a World of Chaos
Framing our writings is the premise that Western Civilization, as traditionally understood, is over. We see this transition as morally neutral. Something else is emerging in its place. We want to help people figure out what that something else should be how they fit into that shift is.

We’re asking three main questions:
- What from our past is worth keeping?
- What should we throw away?
- What should we do next?
Lunacy Now:
- Delights in the benefits of modernity, but wants to ameliorate the ways it can be alienating, clinical and utilitarian.
- Anticipates the coming wave which will transform everything (climate change, robotics, AI etc) and wants to explore novel solutions for how people might respond.
- Embraces the promise of the future, without discarding the cherished heritage of our past.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.— Rumi
