Relax, it's OK to be intolerant of that which divides us. Of those forces in opposition to "a more perfect union." Of business models and algorithms that have been actively blinding us to the truth: that we have more in common than that which divides us. Let the angry voices of disunion, which have been shouting in our faces, now fly away and scatter in the wind.
Politicians and CEOs are the last to know. But now they know. Now they act. Governors cause monuments to be torn down. CEOs remove confederate flags from racetracks and change the names of their syrups. But the people knew first, and power, in every government, ultimately rests with the people.
Take a deep breathe. History is in the past. Life is for the living. Now we join together. We are unstoppable together. We can use our rational minds now to discover the paths through this thick forest, find a way forward and to find each other. We can use our emotions now to carry our legs forwards and power our arms to open that path wide. There is a green world waiting for us. We all want that.
