We’re going to need to rediscover that we’re a social species, which for Americans will be hard—at least since Reagan we’ve been told to think of ourselves first & foremost (his pal Margaret Thatcher insisted ‘there is no such thing as society, only individual men & women.”) And in the Musk/Trump age we’re constantly instructed to distrust everyone & everything, a corrosion that erodes the social fabric as surely as a rampaging river erodes a highway." https://billmckibben.substack.com/p/where-should-i-live
