I think you will enjoy these 2 recent talks by Erik Davis on this same subject. Last bit of the second maps out his 10 ways to navigate weirdness. Excellent.
Loved the way you framed this Tom - brilliant - lots of loose things flying around these days; we need to appreciate the weirdness to make sense. I've been trying to make sense of all this by going back to fables/fairy tales. You may enjoy this: https://rajeshachanta.substack.com/p/the-world-in-2025-an-allegory

There’s an Ogilvy quote that “ the best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.”
