That is the best and most succinct summary I have read! The short video going around of Jill Biden telling Joe "you did great. You answered all the questions" while Joe smiles like a toddler, put the icing on that moldy cake.

Thank you for your assessment Thomas. It puts words to what I have experienced over the past 12 hours. I am currently on a mini vacation (road trip) with my son. Great fun and adventure… just what we need.

As the debate was taking place, we had an amazing conversation about the “alchemical process” we have been, and still are, going through. It was poignant, painful, and productive. He has the substance, tools, and mindset to embrace and develop the “new him” that has been forged in the crucible over the past 4 years.

After he fell asleep I was hit with a tsunami of insomnia and was racked with physical pain. Was all this part of the collapsing wave function? Had it come crashing down into the dark waters of the collective unconscious, awakening the great Cthulhu?

Then I heard about what had transpired during the “debate.” Truly stunning, but expected. Here there is the suspicion that Biden will be replaced on the ticket by Gavin Newsome the Governor of California. He’s a Jason Bateman-esque psychopath.

My thoughts went to Lovecraftian entities, Geiger’s hellscapes, and Stephen King novels like “The Dead Zone” and “The Stand.” But your words ring true, whatever comes next matters not… the gods have already spoken. With this understanding perhaps now I can sleep.
