We are at a choice point in history. In what Marc Gafni calls a “Death Star moment of our species,” we stand between collapse or radical breakthrough. Our global crises are symptoms of something deeper: the breakdown of Eros and the deconstruction of intrinsic value—the collapse of a shared Field of Value and the intimacy that binds us.
