He's noticed something troubling: many people living in cities have lost their basic orientation to the natural world. They've never seen the Milky Way. They don't know which direction they're facing when they walk out their own front door, even after living there for decades. This isn't a small thing. It's a symptom of profound disconnection from the cycles and patterns that shaped human awareness for millennia.
When you lose your relationship to the sun's path, to the stars overhead, to cardinal directions, you lose more than navigation. You lose context. The ability to read the sky, to know where you stand in relation to the cosmos, was once fundamental to human experience. Now it's treated as optional. He sees this as a problem worth naming, because reconnecting to these patterns is the first step toward understanding the deeper forces that have always governed life on this planet.
