• The state of bewilderment that we are currently living through is beneficial to those in power because it grants them more control 
• Those in power benefit from bewilderment, conflict, and chaos because it is easier to assert authority in these environments 
• When a state of crisis benefits those in power, you can expect a perpetual state of crisis 
• The state attempts to emulate the characteristics of God: omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and glory  
• “Secularism is all well and good, as long as the state doesn’t behave like a god.” – Russell Brand 
• If you have a deep need for God, then be careful because the culture will try to fill that desire with false gods such as drugs, alcohol, money, and fame
• See every person that you come across as a human being; be open to the idea that God is trying to speak to you through another person
• If our communities are guided by God, then it is more likely that we will create communities, states, nations, and a planet of peace and prosperityfrom the bottom up, and not from the top down 
• While technology has created the possibility of further decentralization of power, crises are being used to legitimize decentralization; those in power prefer the trajectory of totalitarianism and technological feudalism under the peculiar veil of kindness and protection 
• Protection and control exist on a continuum; this dynamic is fine for a parent who is looking after her child, but not for a state and its people
