Rereading Jack Havig's account of Berkeley, 1970, I wonder whether to comment but check and find that I have already done so better than I could have done now. See: Gadarene Swine. This novel was first published in 1973, only three years after "Berkeley." We are rereading it in 2025. The issues have not changed. We have moved closer to the blowup and breakdown that Havig experiences in the further future. Or, if we imagine ourselves as in the Technic Civilization timeline, then we are still in the Chaos. I will reread something more cheerful, maybe attend meditation group, and then return to this Maurai History.

Kaor, Paul!
And the comment I wrote for "Gadarene Swine" continues to be applicable now. Anderson would have had as much scorn for the PC woke "radicals" of today as for the Berkeley leftists of 1970. Both are much the same!

Sean,
The main point is how do we save the world, not which other groups do we scorn?
