Lloyd Dobler returns with a guided meditation for an America that feels like it’s been written by Vince Gilligan on a bender with a quantum physicist.
This chapter looks at the Tao Te Ching’s reminder that “the many” and “the one” are illusions we cling to when we’re scared, and how the Apple TV+ series Pluribus accidentally became a funhouse-mirror metaphor for our moment. Alternate selves, divided societies, infinite timelines, and the spiritual plot twist that We Is Us whether we like it or not.
If Pluribus cracks open the multiverse, Chapter 11 asks:
What happens when the inner multiverse cracks back?
Part meditation, part cultural autopsy, part deadpan Gen-X existentialism, this is your reminder that the universe might be infinite, but your breath is always now.
Press play. Enter the We.
