Parallel Modernities Exist
- A parallel stream of modernity runs alongside scientific materialism and remains alive today.
- Michael Martin says this stream fosters shared intuitions among its participants without needing a secret handshake.
Living Local: Farmstead Examples
- Michael describes neighbors and customers who source food, medicine, and tools from local, traditional practices.
- He recounts a friend who hasn't bought grocery-store meat in years and communities that make tinctures, brooms, and teach crafts at local Pioneer Day events.
Choose Bildung Over Textbook Schooling
- Seek education that cultivates wonder, arts, and developmentally structured learning rather than rote textbooks.
- Michael recommends approaches like Waldorf-style methods and micro-schools to keep children imaginative and whole.
