Societal Regression
- The West is progressing economically and technologically, but regressing emotionally and socially.
- This is due to a cycle of anxiety driven by reactivity, herding, blame, paralysis, and quick fixes.
The Anxiety Cycle
- A five-step cycle perpetuates anxiety: reactivity, herding instinct, blame displacement, cultural paralysis, and a quick-fix mentality.

Become a Non-Anxious Presence
- Inject a "non-anxious presence" into anxious situations.
- This means being calm, at peace, and wise, yet firm with healthy boundaries.
