I respect you with all my heart. Just as a kind provocation: it’s less that I have to do stuff, and more that I realize that ‘I’ doesn’t inherently exist.

I was a surprised by the title but reading the article I recognize the movement, and I agree, there’s a lot of chosen and new community in the “I” path. I see the “I” path more as “WE” and the “We” path more as “I” actually, as it rarely includes any true empathy.

Right? It felt so edgy because I'm all about the we. It's just a new way of orientating to a we that is intentional and full of embodied beings. Where we can show up as our full selves to be in community with that true empathy we crave

Yes. It’s not about abandoning the WE, it’s about truly integrating the I with and for the WE by being uncompromising about who you are, letting the real ones find you and the others…do their own thing.

Yes! True comfort in the I to get to intentional we. But a we were the individual is respected and autonomous in their individual power

You don't think hyperindividualism and short-termism are toxic traits of our current existence?
