The Bay Needs a Mom

The Bay doesn’t need to become more cool and high-status. It doesn’t need to find Enlightenment. It doesn’t need pornstars and gurus to sexily beyond-validate it in its autism. It needs a slow, reliable, a-little-bit-at-a-time, warm exposure therapy to some of the hard facts about life, and stable connections and practices to help it through. It needs to re-shift from seeking heightened validation to finding mundane, difficult, sometimes boring internal validation and unexciting but reliable company for the journey.
