I would say no to all of those questions, and that in actually it has been the process of waiting for this album that has slowly been stirring the creativity you are asking about. Now that the album has sunk in to some degrees, I'll add that it has been just what I needed to reinforce the ideas and that Descending/Invincible are pivotal in that regard.

I am thinking of a collaborative effort of persuasive writing, resembling the style of Frank Herbert, as a series of excerpts from a fictional book, written in the past tense from sometime just beyond the horizon, centred around efforts that we're undertaken. It would need to be creative, accessible, but at the same time somewhat accurate & realistic in the scientific sense.

Strangely enough, as things stand, it has been part of the RJE episode with MJK that has kept that flame burning, more so than the album itself. The concept he describes...finding 6 people from completely different backgrounds that feel strongly about something, to get them on record to state their positions. To find common ground, to agree on what they agree and disagree on.

If someone actually ran with this and got the ball rolling...the information gathered could certainly contribute to, let's call it, the 7th voice.
