Well, that is one unusual source for an HN submission!
Quite interesting read - about the author, from that website:
> John Michael Greer is a widely read author and blogger whose work focuses on the overlaps between ecology, spirituality, and the future of industrial society.
> He served twelve years as Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America, and currently heads the Druidical Order of the Golden Dawn. He currently lives in East Providence, Rhode Island, with his wife Sara.
"Ancient Order of Druids in America" and "Druidical Order of the Golden Dawn" - who has heard of those before?
I looked them up and found

I'm not one to dismiss something just because it is... unusual. I must admit I would not ask if this was some professor of biology at XYZ University. I have no idea what to think about an American Grand Archdruid. Does anybody have any well-founded opinions about those organizations? I like their page title "Frequently Thrown Tantrums" though -- http://www.druidical-gd.org/ftt.html http://www.druidical-gd.org/ftt.html
- Aloha 7y agothe FTT page is hilarious. It's also something that speaks to every person who has run a website for an organization, when I was webmaster for a convention, I had a text file with canned responses, 8 of them or so, that answered 80% of the questions received, all of which were answerable by reading the website.
- ordu 7y agoMy philosophy professor in a college was also a Professor of Magic History in a School of Witchcraft and Wizardry[1]. Really. After that I do not pay much attention to such a things, I prefer to judge by what people say, not by how do they look. [1] http://ostentum.ru/en/ http://ostentum.ru/en/
- kragen 7y agoAs you can see from his skeptical remarks about Gaia consciousness in this post, he's pretty sane, despite sounding weird. I've enjoyed reading his blog The Archdruid Report, which I'm disappointed to see he deleted.
