As French philosopher Joseph de Maistre once stated, "We get the government we deserve." This musing can be confronting, especially with the U.S. presidential election just days away. Andrew takes a 'surf' of the 'societal hypnosis' that defines contemporary society, exploring how the rise of figures like Donald Trump in politics is unsurprising in a world where the collective intelligence quotient (CIQ) fails to acknowledge that such realities 'filter up' from the grassroots. This is influenced by what the CIQ is willing to accept and by the mentality and egoism that individuals and the CIQ obsessively protect—regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum—all too often at the expense of a healthier counter-narrative. As American writer and artist David Foster Wallace eloquently said, "Everything is bleeding into everything else." Andrew appeals to his audience to reflect on what they can do in their own lives to nurture this much-needed counter-narrative.
