loved this piece. (especially "the very idea of scalable solutions is part and parcel of what got us here in the first place." + "(Human) nature is too complex for us to engineer – we have proven time and time again that our would-be solutions lead to ever more insidious problems that we must once again engineer our way out of") I relate to much of this journey (as a recovering MBA and leader in tech), and like you think the best thing I can do with my time is offer my care and attention. Keep going!

Wow. Every bit of this made perfect sense to me. If I were a man, I might’ve done the same thing. But also left the same way. But you’ve given me so much to take home with me here. You’re right, there isn’t much we can change about our trajectory… there never was. But attention… this is something we can control and gift to others, practically 100% of the time. Triple underlined statement: “…addressing all of humanity without saying a word to our neighbors.” Thanks for this.
