SummitCast #3 Why do people join the revolution?

A lot of people these days are joining revolutionary movements. What is the appeal?

"To a deliberate fomenter of mass upheavals, the report that people are bored stiff should be at least as encouraging as that they are suffering from intolerable economic or political abuses." Eric Hoffer, "The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements." It is amazong to see something written nearly 70 years ago so accurately describing what is happening in America today.

In this show we look at Hoffer's ideas on why people join revolutionary movements. We look at how coronavirus lockdowns are feeding these movements.

We also talk about

* Missing rights of passage in modern life
* The importance of meaningful work for soul development
* How student loans help set the stage for revolution

And what can we learn from all this to build a better future?
