I need to read it over a few more times and sleep on it, it seems you have assembled some of the various thoughts and ideas about the nature of Occupy that have been swirling around in my mind and given them a relatively stable home.

It's amazing, your post just about proves to me that Occupy is collective consciousness manifesting, and therefore I'm sure you know exactly what I am talking about.

"OWS seeks to replace the entire political, social, and economic culture with a wider sense of human community. It already conducts itself in that manner."

Best. Post. Ever.
