Yes! I think this is one of the big shadows of our movement at the moment. Less building our own castles in the corners of the room with proprietary pieces, and more playing in the center of the room together with standard-issue parts. And shifting the focus to building something real and tangible now that we have the territory mapped a bit...
Around 1:14 actually I think that the artists are out front of the philosophers in a lot of cases, but because they don’t initially engage with the new intellectual formalisms being articulated, they are the forest that is missed for the trees.
I see what you're saying for sure. The Romantics and even the Gothic Literature homies seem to have predated the postmodern philosophers in their critique of modernity and their desire to reintegrate with nature and the unseen. AND It seems to me it was a different group of artists AFTER the philosophers that spread the postmodern message to the masses. So Both / And.
Halfway through and loving this conversation! Here is the last teaching of one of my teachers also talking about the idea of a fifth temple, albeit in a very different context. ua-cam.com/video/zwuSrhjtn2A/v-deo.htmlsi=C1akdIcJL09sS-uB
Correction - at 3:13 I didn't say the Animist thing right. Santa Claus would be a First Temple belief (not an Animist one) as he is an archetypical deity like Thor or Anubis or Zeus. Animism is the idea that the actual natural things themselves - the literal rock, the literal river, the literal tree - have spirit and are alive, NOT that there is some archetypical god that rules over them like Posideon does over the sea in the Greek First Temples. Animism means the literal sea is alive, is conscious - that's it. There is no "God of the Sea" that is distinct from the literal, physical sea in Animism. These sorts of disembodied archetypical forces begin to be worshipped in the First Temples, starting after the invention of agriculture. It is the Animist view I am saying is biologically native to homo sapiens with no outside mental training required, for at least the last 50,000 years since we became behaviorally modern, when we gained a huge cluster of upgrades to our biology and psychology I call gaining the 7th chakra (more on this soon, check out the "Upper Paleolithic Revolution" for the scientific explanation). Deities like Santa Claus come LATER as a cultural software update on top of the SAME modern human biological hardware, at the earliest maybe 12,000 years ago with the start of agriculture, but more likely something like 5000 years ago with the start of the Bronze Age proper. Now I can sleep.

Yes to community building and lived friendships relaxing the tendency towards elaborate individual model building! 🙌👏🙌👏
