The Mythic Frame
In mythic terms:
Civilizations fall when:
- gods become rigid
- rituals lose contact with life
- sacrifices are externalized
IDL reenacts the oldest ritual:
speaking with the powers that shape reality, not to control them, but to understand their function.
It doesn’t save the empire.
It saves the capacity to listen after the empire falls.
The Hard Truth
IDL will not stop collapse.
Collapse without IDL-like practices produces:
- scapegoating
- regression
- mythic literalism
- authoritarianism
Collapse with IDL produces:
- role fluidity
- perspective literacy
- post-traumatic learning
- renewed emergence
That difference matters.
The Final Answer
Yes—IDL functions as a micro-learning corrective by:
- restoring feedback
- dissolving identity rigidity
- re-internalizing responsibility
- rehearsing sublimation
- preserving evolutionary indifference alongside care
It does not make people better.
It makes systems thinkable again—one consciousness at a time.
