== Don't wait for the bread to rise ==
"We Jews have a tradition that I wish everybody had, which is that we read one stupid story every God damn year, just to drill it into your head to make sure it's always fresh. And this is: when it's time to leave, when it's time to change, don't wait for the bread to rise. This is what I say to every Jewish person, like, you're sitting around waiting for the bread to rise, because they all know the story, which is you eat the goddamn matzah because the people who waited for the bread to rise are no longer with us; their descendants are no longer with us. And it is time to revolt. ~ Eric on [https://youtu.be/wf0_nMaQ6tA?t=2210 JRE #1453 @ 36 min]

== Semi-reliable Communal Sense-making ==
 
There has been a breakdown in the ''Semi-reliable Communal Sense-making''. Traditionally we used institutions to guide our collective sense-making, but this is no longer the case in the media landscape – so sense-making is no longer close to fully ''communal''. Walter Cronkite was not always telling the truth, but what he said was a close approximation of the national consciousness and shared belief structure as a complex for the country to function upon, but this does not exist in the current media landscape – so it is no longer ''semi-reliable''.

Eric often coins terms or turns-of-phrase that some people may not immediately understand. This page is a reference source for those.
