Get yourself a marketing team man!
Gail,
I suggest you read Neale Donald Walsh’s book ‘Conversations with God’. He claims it is a direct modern age conversation with God and many of your concerns are covered. The most interesting parts were how our civilization compares and contrasts with other intelligent evolved beings in the universe. Even if read as a work of fiction, (the author claims it is non-fiction), the book is as good as anything ever written by Kurt Vonnegut, and just as interesting.
Thank you for your insights !

It is not a marketing team required to "sell" The Overshoot Predator. This goes way deeper than a sales job. Deeper than an ideological movement.

I like the way you lay it out here but I disagree that a sales job and ideological movement are not needed. Personally I don't care what dystopian god a future remnant wandering tribe worships, could be a Dr Pepper bottle for all I care. My concern is for the people I know and how they transition. Not that I hold out much hope but I can still wish that they become disciples rather than martyrs.

Don't want to 'worship' the overshoot predator. Just want to try and spread a philosophy of needing less and power-down and take the edge off the predators hunger. There is no higher power.
