Day 14: Deep radicals.

Women grow radical with age. One day an army of gray-haired women may quietly take over the Earth! -Gloria Steinem

In the days after Steinem’s death this quote, more than any of her others, filled my feed on Instagram and Substack. I’m not surprised given the algorithm would push aging quotes my way. It’s a great quote. And I think the vision is entirely possible.

I long to see women grow radical but I hope it comes from a place of integration. I hope it is a reflection of the work they have done on the inside. I don’t care if the takeover is loud or quiet. I hope it brings healing to the Earth.

I’m reflecting on the journey to being an Elder. I want to support women in doing the work to heal their own stories so that they can bring that wisdom to a world outsourcing human intelligence to machines.

That feels radical right now. We need human depth to counter deep fake.
