We are the new shaman

See this podcast with Tim Winton and Lauren Tenney. Around 32:40 they discuss how Trump could be considered a new shaman due to the manipulation of archetypal symbolism, albeit unconsciously and for debased purposes. So Clinton could also use this with conscious intent, which it seems the DNC convention did a good job of, creating the nurturing parents and community together archetypes in distinction from the self-serving tyrant. It seems the discussion also has the same archetypes, in that we as conscious, autonomous individuals work together via higher purpose like a school of fish. It is akin to the dynamic we've explored in the peer to peer collaborative commons, and what Corbett calls libertarian eco-socialism.
