What happened to humanity, what was taken from us, who or what is responsible, and how might we finally reclaim what was lost? It’s a familiar refrain. The language changes, the cosmologies evolve, and yesterday’s authorities become tomorrow’s false prophets. Yet beneath it all, some remarkably familiar ideas persist. I’ve spent a good deal of time exploring these subjects, and increasingly find myself less interested in another grand explanation than in examining the assumptions that hold these narratives together. Perhaps it’s time we questioned not only the answers being offered, but why we’re so compelled to find them in the first place.
