Ed -- thanks for linking to my review! My reaction to the book was ultimately mixed, but, interestingly, the book actually discusses (or implies) some of the things you're talking about here. But if you didn't like the Goop piece, I think it will probably not be your thing.

FWIW I thought the eclipse was fun precisely because it was a rare monocultural moment that wasn't in the political sphere (e.g., we are all watching The Trump Show whether we want to or not). It was nice to just go outside and see a hundred people all simultaneously appreciating nature! Arguably it was nicer than the eclipse itself (which was probably very cool if you were directly in the path of totality but even at some big number like 90% coverage was... kind of underwhelming!)
