I remind myself of this sage corrective, because like playwright Keiko Green, author of the new comedy “You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World!”

There are large mounds of California buckwheat, tall spires of sweet hummingbird sage and incandescently purple clusters of showy penstemon.

Then, coastal sage, buckwheat, wild grape, wildflowers, milkweed and other native plants will be planted on the roughly one-acre habitat.

What we hadn’t considered is the extent to which a complicit entertainment industry has been softening us up by elevating clowns into sages.

Will those messianic qualities distill into sage leadership?
