I've been missing Luke's insights. When I feel I'm ready to give up, you publish an amazing essay such as this one. Thank you Luke Burgis. I just hope to hear from you (anything) more often...
Just yesterday I put up a link to Whitaker Chambers’s essay about Saint Benedict. Monasticism may indeed carry lessons for us. It refounded civilization from the wreckage. And we are currently living in an odd mix of wreckage and innovation at the same time. The technology is still moving forward, but the foundations are decaying because people don’t know why they are doing what they are doing anymore. Your project sounds admirable, and I look forward to future reports.
I’ll also note that if musk succeeds in building colonies on Mars, if the population is big enough, there will be Catholics, and if there are Catholics, they will need churches, and if eventually there are enough of them, they will want to cathedral as well. how great would it be to live long enough to participate in the mass at the first cathedral on Mars! I’ll probably have to just watch it on video, because I don’t think I’m going to be moving there. Still, no reason to rule out, cathedrals on Mars!

How unexpected to see a reference Cluny!
