* A Farm for the Future: https://vimeo.com/34816525  Wildlife film maker Rebecca Hosking investigates how to transform her family's farm in Devon into a low energy farm for the future, and discovers that nature holds the key. With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to her family's wildlife-friendly farm in Devon, to become the next generation to farm the land. But last year's high fuel prices were a wake-up call for Rebecca. Realising that all food production in the UK is completely dependent on abundant cheap fossil fuel, particularly oil, she sets out to discover just how secure this oil supply is. Alarmed by the answers, she explores ways of farming without using fossil fuel. With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, Rebecca learns that it is actually nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy future.

* ""Decolonising my syllabus" is to decolonisation what "reducing my carbon footprint" is to climate change - it's vital and ethical to take individual action, but it's not the main challenge. The language of radical change is being peddled by institutions (from petroleum companies to polytechs, from uranium mines to unversities) who want us to focus on individual choice precisely so they DON'T have to make systemic changes. Decolonisation =/= a change to the reading list and a land acknowledgement. It means land back and (at minimum) shared governance. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do what we can with what we have, but we need to be truthful about the scale of our efforts
 +
 +
You're 100% right, but the right thing to do may be to subvert this by interpreting decolonization more radically. It's not just land back etc. It's stopping the economic system which is still today destroying the lifeworld of the colonized to benefit the colonizers

** The meritocratic class has mastered the old trick of consolidating wealth and passing privilege along at the expense of other people’s children.
 +
** We are the principal accomplices in a process that is slowly strangling the economy, destabilizing American politics, and eroding democracy. Our delusions of merit now prevent us from recognizing the nature of the problem that our emergence as a class represents... History shows quite clearly that, in the kind of game we’re playing, everybody loses badly in the end.
 +
** If your parents are high on the ladder, the (elastic) band will pull you up should you fall; if they are low, it will drag you down when you start to rise.
 +
** We are the people of good family, good health, good schools, good neighborhoods, and good jobs. We may want to call ourselves the “5Gs” rather than the 9.9 percent. We are so far from the not-so-good people on all of these dimensions, we are beginning to resemble a new species.
 +
** We 9.9 percenters live in safer neighborhoods, go to better schools, have shorter commutes, receive higher-quality health care, and, when circumstances require, serve time in better prisons. We also have more (successful) friends
 +
** We have figured out how to launder our money through higher virtues.
 +
** New forms of life necessarily give rise to new and distinct forms of consciousness. ... Class accretes faster than we think. It’s our '''awareness''' that lags, trapping us within the assumptions into which we were born.
 +
** "On the game": finance, management consulting, medicine, or law; pharmaceutical, software, and entertainment sectors;
 +
** Who is not in on the game? Auto workers. Caregivers. Retail workers. Furniture makers. Food workers.
 +
** when educated people with excellent credentials band together to advance their collective interest, it’s all part of serving the public good by ensuring a high quality of service, establishing fair working conditions, and giving merit its due. That’s why we do it through “associations,” and with the assistance of fellow professionals wearing white shoes. When working-class people do it—through unions—it’s a violation of the sacred principles of the free market. It’s thuggish and anti-modern.
 +
** Education: Instead of uniting and enriching us, it divides and impoverishes.
 +
** This economic and educational sorting of neighborhoods is about the consolidation of wealth in all its forms,
 +
** Gilded zip codes deliver higher life expectancy, more-useful social networks, and lower crime rates. Lengthy commutes, by contrast, cause obesity, neck pain, stress, insomnia, loneliness, and divorce,
 +
** Zip code is who we are. It defines our style, announces our values, establishes our status, preserves our wealth, and allows us to pass it along to our children. It’s also slowly strangling our economy and killing our democracy.
 +
** In part what we have here is a listening problem. Americans have trouble telling the difference between a social critique and a personal insult. Thus, a writer points to a broad social problem with complex origins, and the reader responds with, “What, you want to punish me for my success?”
 +
** ... routinely conflate the stress of status competition with the stress of survival.
 +
** The source of the trouble, considered more deeply, is that we have traded rights for privileges. We’re willing to strip everyone, including ourselves, of the universal right to a good education, adequate health care, adequate representation in the workplace, genuinely equal opportunities, because we think we can win the game. But who, really, in the end, is going to win this slippery game of escalating privileges?
 +
** Perhaps the best evidence for the (inequality of) power is to be found in the degree of resentment it provokes.  The surest sign of an increase in resentment is a rise in ... division and instability.
 +
** No one is born resentful. As mass phenomena, racism, xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, narcissism, irrationalism, and all other variants of resentment are as expensive to produce as they are deadly to democratic politics. Only long hours of television programming, intelligently manipulated social-media feeds, and expensively sustained information bubbles can actualize the unhappy dispositions of humanity to the point where they may be fruitfully manipulated for political gain. Racism in particular is not just a legacy of the past, as many Americans would like to believe; it also must be constantly reinvented for the present. Mass incarceration, fearmongering, and segregation are not just the results of prejudice, but also the means of reproducing it.
 +
** The toxic wave of wealth concentration that arose in the Gilded Age and crested in the 1920s finally crashed on the shoals of depression and war.  Death and destruction & The financial collapse were the real agents of change.
 +
** In The Great Leveler, the historian Walter Scheidel makes a disturbingly good case that inequality has reliably ended only in catastrophic violence: wars, revolutions, the collapse of states, or plagues and other disasters.

Despite population growth, 2050 global energy use could be reduced to 1960 levels.

** Thirty years ago, we had a chance to save the planet.
 +
** Long-term disaster is now the best-case scenario. Three-degree warming is a prescription for short-term disaster: forests in the Arctic and the loss of most coastal cities.
 +
** Four degrees: Europe in permanent drought; vast areas of China, India and Bangladesh claimed by desert; Polynesia swallowed by the sea; the Colorado River thinned to a trickle; the American Southwest largely uninhabitable. The prospect of a five-degree warming has prompted some of the world’s leading climate scientists to warn of the end of human civilization.
 +
** Everybody knew. In 1958, on prime-time television, “The Bell Science Hour”  — aired “The Unchained Goddess,” a film about meteorological wonders, produced by Frank Capra, warning that “man may be unwittingly changing the world’s climate” through the release of carbon dioxide.
 +
** These theories share a common principle: that *CIVILIZED* human beings, whether in global organizations, democracies, industries, political parties or as individuals, are incapable of sacrificing present convenience to forestall a penalty imposed on future generations.
 +
** If human beings really were able to take the long view — to consider seriously the fate of civilization decades or centuries after our deaths — we would be forced to grapple with the transience of all we know and love in the great sweep of time. ->> BUT THERE WERE / ARE "human beings" THAT ARE ABLE!!

They should also address the question of data sovereignty, e.g., which data can leave the country, and consequently are not governed by domestic law. South-South and regional cooperation can help small developing countries build their digital skills, capacities and capabilities."

Techno-colonialism is as dangerous as political imperialism, at least to us nerds and those we enable. Life is not just about money and capital success; education and privilege come with responsibility to our societies and to humankind which follows us all our lives. And each of us, as individuals, through our daily acts, can and must do what we can to affect positive social evolution and change."

gendered, hierarchical division between “production” and “reproduction” is a defining structure of capitalist society
 +
and a deep source of the gender asymmetries hard-wired in it.
 +
There can be no “emancipation of women” so long as this structure remains intact.
 +
feminist ideas are being twisted to serve neoliberal, capitalist ends.

Throughout the year the group build tiny houses, plant veggie gardens, practice simple living, and discover the challenges of living in community. This film is the product of hours and hours of footage that I shot during that year-long experiment in simple living.

Political Action: DGR groups will only engage in aboveground, nonviolent activities. These can include legal demonstrations as well as civil disobedience.
+
** Wretched of the Earth, Frantz Fanon
 +
** Provides inspiration for anti-colonial movements ever since, analysing the role of class, race, national culture and violence in the struggle for freedom. In this book, the author makes clear the economic and psychological degradation inflicted by imperialism.
  
−
Solidarity: Non-indigenous members of DGR remember that we are living on stolen land in the midst of an ongoing genocide. The task of the non-indigenous is to build solidarity with indigenous people in defending the land, preserving traditional cultures, and protecting sacred ceremonies from exploitation.
 
  
−
Justice: We are enmeshed in overlapping systems of sadistic power built on stolen wealth, white privilege, misogyny, and human supremacism. As individuals, it is our responsibility to acknowledge those systems, overcome our entitlement, and make alliances with the dispossessed. Collectively, it is our task to bring those systems down.

** capitalism feeds on the exploitation and superexploitation of workers ...
 +
** tax evasion; and the inertia of national governments and international institutions in the face of this blatant refusal to partake in social contracts
 +
** academia (is) an integral part of the capitalist world-system. In fact, scientific research and theorizing were central components to the rise of capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, fascism, and neo-imperial postcolonialism and to all the major crimes against humanity.
  
−
Liberty: DGR groups have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse of anyone, human or nonhuman. Physical integrity and emotional safety are basic human rights that DGR is sworn to defend. DGR will banish any members who rape, batter, or abuse any living creature. Masculinity, with its militarized psychology and its violation imperative, has to be abandoned personally and dismantled globally.
+
==Cooperation==
  
−
Character: DGR is a serious undertaking that requires loyalty, commitment, integrity, and courage. Members are expected to treat everyone with respect.
+
[[File:power-of-neighborhood.jpg|right|400px]]
  
−
Security: All DGR members are required to abide by principles of security culture and to address breaches directly. Both lax security and paranoia are dangerous to our organization. All non-political illegal activity puts everyone at risk and is inappropriate for members. DGR groups are required to educate new members on security culture.

Throughout the year the group build tiny houses, plant veggie gardens, practice simple living, and discover the challenges of living in community. This film is the product of hours and hours of footage that I shot during that year-long experiment in simple living.

 +
** "birth and growth are painful exercises. "
 +
** "wealth as example, wealth as inspiration, wealth as knowledge, wealth of understanding "
 +
** "birth and growth are also not passive deeds. We must then take ourselves to the battle grounds, and organize and educate -- must we be standing in defiance of that injury or assault."
 +
** "we must recognize the basic humanity in each of us. Yes, there will be arguments, frustrations, and challenges within our circles. Tactics will be different, skills will vary, leadership will shift and change, along with strategies and narratives....  and give each other the benefit of allowance of growth, understanding, and opportunity to make mistakes along the way."

This often precedes any deep ideological commitment on the recruits’ part and, especially early on, is more about offering them a sense of meaning and community than anything else."

Political Action: DGR groups will only engage in aboveground, nonviolent activities. These can include legal demonstrations as well as civil disobedience.

+
Solidarity: Non-indigenous members of DGR remember that we are living on stolen land in the midst of an ongoing genocide. The task of the non-indigenous is to build solidarity with indigenous people in defending the land, preserving traditional cultures, and protecting sacred ceremonies from exploitation.

Justice: We are enmeshed in overlapping systems of sadistic power built on stolen wealth, white privilege, misogyny, and human supremacism. As individuals, it is our responsibility to acknowledge those systems, overcome our entitlement, and make alliances with the dispossessed. Collectively, it is our task to bring those systems down.

Liberty: DGR groups have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse of anyone, human or nonhuman. Physical integrity and emotional safety are basic human rights that DGR is sworn to defend. DGR will banish any members who rape, batter, or abuse any living creature. Masculinity, with its militarized psychology and its violation imperative, has to be abandoned personally and dismantled globally.

Security: All DGR members are required to abide by principles of security culture and to address breaches directly. Both lax security and paranoia are dangerous to our organization. All non-political illegal activity puts everyone at risk and is inappropriate for members. DGR groups are required to educate new members on security culture.

"If we say that it is wrong to make schools uber-competitive through testing and the response is that "life is competitive",

the conversation will naturally move to whether we should change life, change our culture, change absolutely everything.  
 +
Increasingly, the Western world tends to value people by how hard they work, how much money they earn and
 +
how many possessions they have. These values are instilled in children from the minute we compare them with one another
 +
and the result has been the sacrifice of our collective mental health. We’re talking revolution, here."

* Radical Joy
+
To overcome the crisis of democracy and reaffirm our autonomy,
 +
we first of all need to liberate our empty self from mindless consumerism and conformity.
 +
Representation places the source of legitimacy outside of oneself.
 +
Whether it is a corporate brand name, political party, an ideology or slogan,
 +
one looks for objects of representation through which
 +
something inside can be projected out onto the world.

+
People are moving more and more outside of electoral politics. A call is arising for a new type of governance,
 +
for a real democracy where each person participates directly and manifests their own voice.  
 +
This is a political act, but  it is also much more. The current crisis of democracy is a crisis of representation.
 +
Images that perpetuate illusions about ourselves can no longer sustain our humanity.

** The awe I feel with the beauty of it all is an antidote for despair. Instead of ruminating, I am celebrating. The lie that the world seeks to destroy me is replaced with the truth that the land is conspiring to give me life. For the next six hours, I lose myself trying to describe the color of the sky, the wisdom of stones, and the fragrance of pines.
 
−
** The aspens have given me a great gift. They have reminded me how to step out of my own small mind into the communities surrounding me and giving me life. They have taught me that there is no such thing as isolation in the natural world. They have given me a weapon against the despair: listening. While I am busy listening, I am not ruminating. The less I ruminate the healthier I am.
 
−
** Aspens give me medicine as effective as the anti-depressants my psychiatrist prescribes me. Aspens teach me an invaluable skill for resisting rumination as effective as the techniques my therapist teaches me. In doing so, aspens become allies in my personal struggle to overcome depression. As I get better, my mind is less dominated by rumination, and I am better able to contemplate problems beyond myself.

* Taking Male Entitlement Seriously (Abuse / Violence / Intolerance ) http://tim.dreamwidth.org/2035407.html
 +
** "Abuse is not "sharing an opinion". Being an abuser is not an identity; abusing is something you do, not something you are. Abuse is not "questioning assumptions" or "challenging conversations". Abuse is not justifiable, and should not be tolerated, accommodated, or empathized with."
 +
** Neutrality is a myth; being "neutral" in this conflict means siding with the abuser.
 +
** abuse is about power; it means that a person is taking advantage of a power imbalance to exploit or control someone else." (Bancroft, p. 123)
 +
** Entitlement is central: Domestic abusers (Bancroft writes) feel entitled to physical, emotional, and sexual care-taking; deference; and freedom from accountability from their partners.
 +
** "Anger and conflict are not the problem; they are normal aspects of life."
 +
** '''non-abusive people find non-abusive ways to express their hurt feelings.

** Our culture teaches boys to feel entitled to girls' attention, affection, and love, which breeds a vicious cycle of misogyny and violence.
 +
** weaponized misogyny and male entitlement, the hallmarks of a culture of toxic masculinity that teaches boys and men that they are owed the time and bodies of girls and women—any girls and women, anytime. Toxic masculinity teaches us that “boys will be boys” and that girls will soothe and accommodate. Non-compliant girls and women are punished in all kinds of ways, by society and boys and men. Sometimes they are punished violently. Sometimes they are killed. We often call this love.
 +
** Women know this. Hell, we don’t just know it, we feel it. We live it, every time we smile and shift away from a boss’s hand instead of throwing a stapler at his temple.

* BOUNDARIES
 +
** (I want to be like) Someone with healthy '''boundaries''' (who) is confident enough in their own ability to say yes and no that they can act interdependent and responsive to others without losing themselves, either in the moment or in the long term. If it takes you a month to know that you did a thing you didn’t want to do, your boundaries may be overly porous and need healing. If you erect walls that are so rigid you cannot hear or see when someone you love needs you, your boundaries may be overly hard and you may need to develop responsiveness and receptivity. Ideally, someone with healthy boundaries can trust in live time their own capacity to listen to their body, needs, and feelings, and not need external permission to do so, while they also have the resilience and self-awareness that lets them empathize with and respond in the moment to those they care about. Healthy boundaries let you assess your own needs and the needs of others, in a moment-by-moment way. They let you act responsive to others and responsive to yourself.

** The awe I feel with the beauty of it all is an antidote for despair. Instead of ruminating, I am celebrating. The lie that the world seeks to destroy me is replaced with the truth that the land is conspiring to give me life. For the next six hours, I lose myself trying to describe the color of the sky, the wisdom of stones, and the fragrance of pines.
 +
** The aspens have given me a great gift. They have reminded me how to step out of my own small mind into the communities surrounding me and giving me life. They have taught me that there is no such thing as isolation in the natural world. They have given me a weapon against the despair: listening. While I am busy listening, I am not ruminating. The less I ruminate the healthier I am.
 +
** Aspens give me medicine as effective as the anti-depressants my psychiatrist prescribes me. Aspens teach me an invaluable skill for resisting rumination as effective as the techniques my therapist teaches me. In doing so, aspens become allies in my personal struggle to overcome depression. As I get better, my mind is less dominated by rumination, and I am better able to contemplate problems beyond myself.

** any meaningful solutions will come from those of us who have been courageous enough to take the time and energy to feel these scary and discomforting feelings. Through processing our griefs and facing reality, we open to new solutions that were previously unavailable to us.
 +
** We cannot start unweaving until we courageously face the truth that this way of life is killing us. And if we keep pushing forth measures to prop up our lifestyles, we, too, will die. Sit with that realization. Be with the feelings that arise from reading those words. It’s a lot, I know. But it’s also true. We must face our mortality and the mortality of everything. Everything we know and love will die. Our lifestyles have been desperate attempts to ward off our deaths. We are ephemeral beings who have gotten lost in our quest for immortality. These truths don’t change in relation to our ability to stomach them.
 +
** For those of us privileged enough to have our basic needs met and a stable income, it is on us to use that privilege to start scrutinizing the current paradigms. It is time to start unraveling the threads of our toxic culture. It’s on each of us to begin to heal from the inside out. You must tend to those feelings overwhelming you right now. You are responsible for feeling your full range of feelings, acknowledging your privilege, and taking seriously the situations in which you find yourself. You, and everyone else, is obliged to deconstruct your belief systems and come from a place of curiosity and nimbleness. You are not alone in doing this nor are you responsible for fixing everything yourself. Many of us are entering into collective spaces to heal these wounds and build courage for the road ahead. This is your invitation to come together in heart-centered community to build consciousness around these predicaments.

** "Cult researchers recognize these paradoxes not as eccentricities of leaders and groups, but as a technique. The history of cults is largely a history of extremely paranoid leaders who lock followers into their description of a double world. The outside, conventional world is a place of demonic danger, while the inner world of the leader and his group offers love and safety.
 +
In the field of cultic studies, the rhythm of the double world is understood as a driver of disorganized attachment and trauma bonding. The cult member is actively confused by the oscillation between terror danger and care. The leader’s main impact is not to communicate content, but to forge an exploitative relationship through that confusion, which can only be resolved by staying, committing, and investing.
 +
Psychologist and cult survivor Alexandra Stein is the pioneer in the field of applying disorganized attachment theory to cultic bonds. Her thesis is that disorganized attachment, a condition first observed by child psychologists studying young children who develop erratic and high-stress responses to traumatizing caregivers, is the very model for cultic bonding, in which the group member feels contradictory impulses of terror and love that can only be resolved through devotion."

** EMOTIONAL LABOUR

* Further Materials Toward a Theory of the Man-Child By MOIRA WEIGEL AND MAL AHERN, JULY 9, 2013
 +
** https://thenewinquiry.com/further-materials-toward-a-theory-of-the-man-child/
 +
** Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt later used the phrase “affective labor” to describe the emotional exertion that white-collar jobs increasingly require.
 +
** Women’s long history of performing work without its even being acknowledged as work, much less compensated fairly, may account for their relative success in today’s white-collar economy
 +
** "In institutions that reward competence with more unpaid labor, the Man-Child needs the Grown Woman to take care of him, and she needs him to need her."
 +
** almost a definition of "hipster sexism": When casual sexism pervades leftist theory, one assumes it is ironic; when progressive institutions ignore gender politics, one assumes this is because struggles for equality have already been won, or must be deferred so we can attend to more pressing political needs. Intellectuals tend to show class allegiance, bracketing or ignoring casual sexism in their own circles. They project misogyny outward, onto Middle America megachurches and racialized others, or onto the powerful men that pander to those masses.
 +
** In many radical political groups in the 20th century, sex and gender {and race} were treated as issues for “after the revolution.” ... (in order to) put off thinking about how differences of gender, sex, and sexuality {and race} operate in diverse lives. '''That sort of thinking takes work,''' work that many of us would often rather avoid. Because utopia never arrives, '''this labor gets passed on to the exploited''', who do not have the choice of temporarily ignoring the question. In many workplaces, including academic departments, this means that race becomes the “job” of people of color; sexual politics the “job” of people who are female and/or queer and/or transgendered.
 +
** What would Preliminary Materials for a Theory of Motherhoodlook like? Maybe instead of more smarter-than-thou critiques, we need more imagination, more courage. In place of obscurantism, clarity and organization. In place of indecision and irony, a praise song and a program

 +
** settling down with oneself, and one’s community, is just about the most radical stance a person can take these days.
 +
** cultivating a healthy inner life. Having a sense of contentedness, equanimity, patience, inner peace, and wild-eyed wonder at the beauty our world has to offer.
 +
** We must learn to slow down, to be present in each moment.
 +
** A sense of duty, care, compassion, and collective responsibility for the planet and the meek of the Earth must be stoked among leaders in civil society.
 +
** It is possible to draw strength from the planet, as well as lovers and friends and plant and animal allies, after all.
 +
** Settling also means each of us has to learn how to become rooted in one’s community, state, and nation: growing a stable and harmonious identity, a sense of belongingness, and a meaningful culture.
 +
**  Healthy food, continuing one’s education throughout life, being fulfilled in work and in play, learning to appreciate nature, and developing a spiritual practice are just a few basics.
 +
** step back from the maelstrom of contemporary life in certain senses: to set examples by not jet-setting around the globe regularly, to give up luxury consumer items in solidarity with the working classes, etc
 +
** '''walking barefoot on the soil, our mother Earth, will help people understand how to resist.''' (ecotherapy)
 +
** Pacts within communities to promote some sort of egalitarian redistribution of wealth to decrease inequality will foster higher levels of trust, friendship, and reciprocity.
 +
** Restraint, humbleness, and compassion must reemerge as key values for our descendants to have a chance at a prosperous future.
 +
** Live simpler. Love harder. Listen to the wind, the rocks and soil, rushing water, a crackling fire. One can find answers by keeping still and listening.

Hackers Tribes (Saving the World)

Why are hackers like tribes?

http://mobilizingideas.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/which-hackers-are-we-talking-about/ 

Hacker Culture: Smári: Hacker culture is all about being able to learn and experience and interact. It takes an "anything goes" approach 
to altering reality. A hacker is somebody who has read-write-execute permissions on the universe. 
Within this mindset there is no right and wrong - such moral judgements are separate from hacker culture, 
and although hackers might argue heavily about what is right and wrong, 
they will all agree that tinkering is a good idea. A side effect of this is an incredibly liberal attitude towards almost everything. 
Once you recognize moral relativism for what it is, then we can move forward to do more interesting things than opining at each other, 
such as working together to build better communities.
The free exchange of information is a necessary precondition for this.
  • "The hacker is someone one can imagine as still having some shred of a utopian practice." Interview with @McKenzieWark http://owl.li/rPYGN
"You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself."


November 2014: 

"The hacker ethos is wild and anarchic, indifferent to the trappings of success. 
Or it was, until the gentrifiers moved in" Brett Scott


About hackerspaces

  • "Barefoot into Cyperspace"

Learning from the mistakes

Why are hackerspaces like tribes?

"... Internet’s spirit of permissionless innovation, open entry, diversity and competition." http://www.internetgovernance.org/2013/10/20/plans-for-internet-commission-on-internet-cooperation-revealed/

  • & why are hackerspaces as "commons"? 
“A commons must be animated by bottom-up participation, personal responsibility, transparency 
and self-policing accountability.” http://bollier.org/commons-short-and-sweet

Hackers Ethics

Teaching Hackers Ethics

Hackerspaces Governance Models

Tips for Volunteer Organisations

Consensus

  • (get some links from anarchist web sites!!)

Governance in general

  • Internet Governance & Hackers [[Internet_Governance_and_hackers]

On Leadership

  • Talk about / dedicate yourself to / what you love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEssxCSlItw 

"Leaders are the ones who are brave enough to ACT on what they know to be true "
"Leadership is a choice"
"Bring the choice about what you do into alignment with what you love, and become a leader."
  • Examples of other organizations - Red Cross: 
"The Red Cross is a classic example of an organization that's been around too long 
and whose focus has shifted from fulfilling its mandate to guaranteeing its own success and survival. 
Typically, they're arrogant and unassailable. Individuals behave much the same way, 
only within a shorter time span. We have much to learn about how we handle change."

https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-red-cross-raised-half-a-billion-dollars-for-haiti-and-built-6-homes

  • Oxfam 
" Leading by example means addressing and questioning inequity and abuse as they manifest in ourselves, and our organisations. Really practicing what we preach."

& " We actually have to continually be addressing structural oppressions as they show up"

Why are tribes important?

    • 2) The Boiling Frog
    • 3) The Collapse of Values
    • 4) Population: A Systems Approach
    • 5) The Great Remembering
  • The parable of tribes, Andrew Bard Schmookler
  • James C. Scott: Review of "The World until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?" by Jared Diamond http://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n22/james-c-scott/crops-towns-government
    • "Anthropology can show us radically different and satisfying forms of human affiliation and co-operation that do not depend on the nuclear family or inherited wealth. "
    • "our world of grains and states is a mere blink of the eye (0.25 per cent), in the historical adventure of our species."
    • "As Norbert Elias pointed out more than half a century ago in The Civilising Process, what the state does is to centralise and monopolise violence in its own hands"
    • relative non-violence and physical well-being of contemporary hunters and gatherers when compared with the early agrarian states.
    • strong social forces mobilised by kinsmen to restrain anyone contemplating a hasty and violent act that will expose all of them to danger.
    • It’s hard to imagine Diamond’s primitives giving up their physical freedom, their varied diet, their egalitarian social structure, their relative freedom from famine, large-scale state wars, taxes and systematic subordination in exchange for what Diamond imagines to be ‘the king’s peace’.

  • In the Absence of the Sacred, Jerry Mander
  • Born and raised in captivity...
  • The Great Turning

"somebody will take care of it... that's their job..." == THAT'S MY JOB!

Are we distroying the planet just to be a little bit more comfortable for a short while? Dimitry Orlov

What does a life well lived look like?

Socratic Questions / Social Justice issue : http://goodmenproject.com/social-justice-2/social-justice-climate-change-is-a-social-justice-issue/

  • "Myth" : The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. John F. Kennedy
7. Build consciousness of alternative stories

Many of the above show by example that a better world is possible, but that won’t be enough. 
Without a narrative to backup our actions we are easily ignored and relegated to the sidelines.
The current paradigm lauds competition, deems wealth a reward for being good, hard working, 
and smart, and equates poverty with personal failing.
We need to counter this with stories of cooperation and community. We need to strip poverty of it’s stigma. 
We need to show people that we can build on empathy and not greed.

Novels

"the most important environmental book ever written. It is not Silent Spring, Small Is Beautiful or even Walden. It contains no graphs, no tables, no facts, figures, warnings, predictions or even arguments.

It is a novel, first published (in 2006) , and it will change the way you see the world."

  • Down to Earth!


  • A Farm for the Future: https://vimeo.com/34816525 Wildlife film maker Rebecca Hosking investigates how to transform her family's farm in Devon into a low energy farm for the future, and discovers that nature holds the key. With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to her family's wildlife-friendly farm in Devon, to become the next generation to farm the land. But last year's high fuel prices were a wake-up call for Rebecca. Realising that all food production in the UK is completely dependent on abundant cheap fossil fuel, particularly oil, she sets out to discover just how secure this oil supply is. Alarmed by the answers, she explores ways of farming without using fossil fuel. With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, Rebecca learns that it is actually nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy future.

The fruiting bodies of this vast organism are seen as clusters of mushrooms, but the continuous underground part of the fungus extends over 3.5 miles and an area of around 2200 acres. Such size is not attained without age, and this organism has been dated variously from 2400 years old to over 7000 years old. " http://www.viewzone.com/plants.html

Takers Myths

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, 
but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.

Takers exhibit three characteristics:

(1) They believe (i.e. act as if) the world was made for humans to conquer and rule;

(2) they practice totalitarian agriculture, a form of agriculture predicated on the notion that all food on this planet belongs to humans exclusively; thus (a) food dedicated to human use may be denied to all other species, (b) any species that would compete for human food may be destroyed at will, and (c) food needed by other species may be destroyed at will to make room for the production of human food;

(3) they believe their way is the One Right Way for people to live and everyone in the world should live that way---and be forced to live that way, if necessary

The myth of progress

  • "genocide of the Holocaust and totalitarian systems [were] unnatural but the logical consequence of modernity. They were the culmination of the idea of progress and purity which, according to Bauman, were of crucial importance for the dynamics of modernity." https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1701/msg00017.html
Myth of progress: Now is the best time, we never had it as good as now

Feudalism then and now.jpg

Colonialism

  • ""Decolonising my syllabus" is to decolonisation what "reducing my carbon footprint" is to climate change - it's vital and ethical to take individual action, but it's not the main challenge. The language of radical change is being peddled by institutions (from petroleum companies to polytechs, from uranium mines to unversities) who want us to focus on individual choice precisely so they DON'T have to make systemic changes. Decolonisation =/= a change to the reading list and a land acknowledgement. It means land back and (at minimum) shared governance. That doesn't mean we shouldn't do what we can with what we have, but we need to be truthful about the scale of our efforts

You're 100% right, but the right thing to do may be to subvert this by interpreting decolonization more radically. It's not just land back etc. It's stopping the economic system which is still today destroying the lifeworld of the colonized to benefit the colonizers


The myth of humanity

It's NOT all the humans that are a problem -- it's just one CIVILIZATION (right now, 21st century) -- the TAKERS!

  • e.g. "Humans are “the ultimate invasive species” having spread from Africa to every corner of the planet (and beyond) in 100,000 years. In doing so, we have removed the habitats of other species, or affected them by moving other invasive species around, causing pollution and driving climate change."

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/16/five-ways-to-stop-mass-extinction

NO -- for 90,000 years they stayed POOR and did not cause pollutions & extinctions!

Only in the last 10.000 years, since totalitarian agriculture, have we been waging a war on Nature!

The Population Myth

it's NOT overpopulation, it's INEQUALITY & overconsumption

http://www.monbiot.com/2009/09/29/the-population-myth/

  • Mahatma Gandhi ("there is enough for everyone's needs, not for everyone's greed'),
  • Mahmoud Mamdani: the Myth of Population Control). here's a short review:

https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/isj/1973/no065/butler.htm


INEQUALITY

moving from precariat to unnecessariat


  • https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2016/nov/17/diversity-can-distract-us-from-economic-inequality
    • "Rich western liberals, Michaels argues, don’t want to challenge the economic structures that produce inequality because that might seriously impact on their own standing and wealth. Instead they insist on the elite being as diverse as the poor, as a way to justify the very existence of the elite."
    • "If a Muslim woman is better at doing the job than a white man, the logic of capitalism is entirely non-discriminatory. She rightly gets the job. Thus capitalism is applauded as an agent of social progress. And yet the poor get poorer and the rich get richer." -> The issue, of course, is NEOLIBERAL capitalism.
    • social justice CAN mean a commitment to both social diversity and economic equality
So your meditation for today is this: Who would you be in a refugee camp?
  • USA aristocracy https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/06/the-birth-of-a-new-american-aristocracy/559130/
    • The meritocratic class has mastered the old trick of consolidating wealth and passing privilege along at the expense of other people’s children.
    • We are the principal accomplices in a process that is slowly strangling the economy, destabilizing American politics, and eroding democracy. Our delusions of merit now prevent us from recognizing the nature of the problem that our emergence as a class represents... History shows quite clearly that, in the kind of game we’re playing, everybody loses badly in the end.
    • If your parents are high on the ladder, the (elastic) band will pull you up should you fall; if they are low, it will drag you down when you start to rise.
    • We are the people of good family, good health, good schools, good neighborhoods, and good jobs. We may want to call ourselves the “5Gs” rather than the 9.9 percent. We are so far from the not-so-good people on all of these dimensions, we are beginning to resemble a new species.
    • We 9.9 percenters live in safer neighborhoods, go to better schools, have shorter commutes, receive higher-quality health care, and, when circumstances require, serve time in better prisons. We also have more (successful) friends
    • We have figured out how to launder our money through higher virtues.
    • New forms of life necessarily give rise to new and distinct forms of consciousness. ... Class accretes faster than we think. It’s our awareness that lags, trapping us within the assumptions into which we were born.
    • "On the game": finance, management consulting, medicine, or law; pharmaceutical, software, and entertainment sectors;
    • Who is not in on the game? Auto workers. Caregivers. Retail workers. Furniture makers. Food workers.
    • when educated people with excellent credentials band together to advance their collective interest, it’s all part of serving the public good by ensuring a high quality of service, establishing fair working conditions, and giving merit its due. That’s why we do it through “associations,” and with the assistance of fellow professionals wearing white shoes. When working-class people do it—through unions—it’s a violation of the sacred principles of the free market. It’s thuggish and anti-modern.
    • Education: Instead of uniting and enriching us, it divides and impoverishes.
    • This economic and educational sorting of neighborhoods is about the consolidation of wealth in all its forms,
    • Gilded zip codes deliver higher life expectancy, more-useful social networks, and lower crime rates. Lengthy commutes, by contrast, cause obesity, neck pain, stress, insomnia, loneliness, and divorce,
    • Zip code is who we are. It defines our style, announces our values, establishes our status, preserves our wealth, and allows us to pass it along to our children. It’s also slowly strangling our economy and killing our democracy.
    • In part what we have here is a listening problem. Americans have trouble telling the difference between a social critique and a personal insult. Thus, a writer points to a broad social problem with complex origins, and the reader responds with, “What, you want to punish me for my success?”
    • ... routinely conflate the stress of status competition with the stress of survival.
    • The source of the trouble, considered more deeply, is that we have traded rights for privileges. We’re willing to strip everyone, including ourselves, of the universal right to a good education, adequate health care, adequate representation in the workplace, genuinely equal opportunities, because we think we can win the game. But who, really, in the end, is going to win this slippery game of escalating privileges?
    • Perhaps the best evidence for the (inequality of) power is to be found in the degree of resentment it provokes. The surest sign of an increase in resentment is a rise in ... division and instability.
    • No one is born resentful. As mass phenomena, racism, xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, narcissism, irrationalism, and all other variants of resentment are as expensive to produce as they are deadly to democratic politics. Only long hours of television programming, intelligently manipulated social-media feeds, and expensively sustained information bubbles can actualize the unhappy dispositions of humanity to the point where they may be fruitfully manipulated for political gain. Racism in particular is not just a legacy of the past, as many Americans would like to believe; it also must be constantly reinvented for the present. Mass incarceration, fearmongering, and segregation are not just the results of prejudice, but also the means of reproducing it.
    • The toxic wave of wealth concentration that arose in the Gilded Age and crested in the 1920s finally crashed on the shoals of depression and war. Death and destruction & The financial collapse were the real agents of change.
    • In The Great Leveler, the historian Walter Scheidel makes a disturbingly good case that inequality has reliably ended only in catastrophic violence: wars, revolutions, the collapse of states, or plagues and other disasters.

Capitalism & Climate

"“The earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” – Utah Phillips
  • (2020) We can stop climate change with class war https://tribunemag.co.uk/2020/10/we-cant-stop-climate-change-without-class-war
    • the richest 1% of people alone are responsible for double the emissions of the poorest 50% of the global population.
    • Green capitalism will never facilitate the scale of action that is necessary to keep warming below 1.5ºC because it refuses to take on the powerful people and industries that are fuelling the climate crisis in the first place.
    • actively dismantling the economic structures that facilitate the wealth accumulation

As ecological breakdown looms, the basic material needs of billions remain unmet. We estimate the minimal energy for providing decent living globally & universally. Despite population growth, 2050 global energy use could be reduced to 1960 levels. This requires advanced technologies & reductions in demand to sufficiency levels. But sufficiency is far more materially generous than many opponents often assume.

  • 2018: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html
    • Thirty years ago, we had a chance to save the planet.
    • Long-term disaster is now the best-case scenario. Three-degree warming is a prescription for short-term disaster: forests in the Arctic and the loss of most coastal cities.
    • Four degrees: Europe in permanent drought; vast areas of China, India and Bangladesh claimed by desert; Polynesia swallowed by the sea; the Colorado River thinned to a trickle; the American Southwest largely uninhabitable. The prospect of a five-degree warming has prompted some of the world’s leading climate scientists to warn of the end of human civilization.
    • Everybody knew. In 1958, on prime-time television, “The Bell Science Hour” — aired “The Unchained Goddess,” a film about meteorological wonders, produced by Frank Capra, warning that “man may be unwittingly changing the world’s climate” through the release of carbon dioxide.
    • These theories share a common principle: that *CIVILIZED* human beings, whether in global organizations, democracies, industries, political parties or as individuals, are incapable of sacrificing present convenience to forestall a penalty imposed on future generations.
    • If human beings really were able to take the long view — to consider seriously the fate of civilization decades or centuries after our deaths — we would be forced to grapple with the transience of all we know and love in the great sweep of time. ->> BUT THERE WERE / ARE "human beings" THAT ARE ABLE!!

"fighting climate change requires “a clear moral vision of the alternative being fought for,” said Klein. Just as Mandela fought for a new “rainbow egalitarian society” rather than simply against racism, environmentalists need to establish a new approach to society.

It is time for a new generation of environmental activism to emerge, she said—one that is not dominated by acceptance of the prevailing world view, but one that breaks free from the “ideologically shackled environment in which we all operate”.

Failure to challenge an ideology based upon self-interest and an all-powerful market ... the ideas that have been our greatest obstacles—especially the idea that there is no society, that we are defined by self interested, consumer desires.”

technology *is* ideology

Pinkertons, and that ideology is deeply embodied in centralized services, asymmetric bandwidth, the culture of mediation, and Newspeak of instant messaging. Instead, the left, as bumbling idiots, cheered the use of apps to organize "protests". The left interpreted this ideology as inevitable technological progress, and lost the battle and the war at that very moment. Instead of reading McLuhan, the best it could think of was to use the same centralized ideotechnology from its masters to indoctrinate crowds, but for the left causes. It's fascinating how it manages to stay repeatedly surprised as it gets beaten into the ground over and over again. Fuck such left and its "academic crowd". The faster it dies out, the better.

    • "that monopolies are unconditionally an intolerable imposition on the proper functioning of society. The notion of "crony capitalism" and the use of money to purchase political power to further corporate aggrandisement is both an historical and a current problem with large entrenched monopolies"
    • "The result was much the same as before: a small number of corporate behemoths dominated the Internet and its portfolio of services and content."
    • "Who are these new barons of today’s Gilded Age? Any casual poll would nominate Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft."
    • "these new corporate giants have a far smaller workforce and far shallower social roots."
    • "In today’s world, there is once more a massive concentration of corporate power. There are fewer public companies and more are disappearing than appearing while this process of concentration and aggregation is underway. Now corporatism is the new thinking, and any politician that has a desire to curb corporate influence and social power is forced to work with a sparse set of thin regulatory frameworks to advance the cause of the public good. The more common mantra is to surrender the ground to so-called industry self-regulation, and hope that the resultant feeding frenzy does not generate an unpalatable level of collateral damage."
    • This is no longer just a conversation about carriage and communications. It is probably not even a conversation about carriage and communications at all. The changing face of the Internet is no longer a matter of public communications, but a matter of public services. And with this observation we are back to a more basic theme. The essential topic of the conversation is how to strike a sustainable balance between a rapacious private sector that has amassed overarching control of the digital service and content space, and the needs of the larger society in which we all would like some equity of opportunity to thrive and benefit from the outcomes of this new digital age.

Political Action: DGR groups will only engage in aboveground, nonviolent activities. These can include legal demonstrations as well as civil disobedience.

Solidarity: Non-indigenous members of DGR remember that we are living on stolen land in the midst of an ongoing genocide. The task of the non-indigenous is to build solidarity with indigenous people in defending the land, preserving traditional cultures, and protecting sacred ceremonies from exploitation.

Justice: We are enmeshed in overlapping systems of sadistic power built on stolen wealth, white privilege, misogyny, and human supremacism. As individuals, it is our responsibility to acknowledge those systems, overcome our entitlement, and make alliances with the dispossessed. Collectively, it is our task to bring those systems down.

Liberty: DGR groups have a zero-tolerance policy for abuse of anyone, human or nonhuman. Physical integrity and emotional safety are basic human rights that DGR is sworn to defend. DGR will banish any members who rape, batter, or abuse any living creature. Masculinity, with its militarized psychology and its violation imperative, has to be abandoned personally and dismantled globally.

Character: DGR is a serious undertaking that requires loyalty, commitment, integrity, and courage. Members are expected to treat everyone with respect.

Security: All DGR members are required to abide by principles of security culture and to address breaches directly. Both lax security and paranoia are dangerous to our organization. All non-political illegal activity puts everyone at risk and is inappropriate for members. DGR groups are required to educate new members on security culture. 

"If we say that it is wrong to make schools uber-competitive through testing and the response is that "life is competitive",

Increasingly, the Western world tends to value people by how hard they work, how much money they earn and 
how many possessions they have. These values are instilled in children from the minute we compare them with one another 
and the result has been the sacrifice of our collective mental health. We’re talking revolution, here."

Whether it is a corporate brand name, political party, an ideology or slogan, 
one looks for objects of representation through which 
something inside can be projected out onto the world.

  • BOUNDARIES
    • (I want to be like) Someone with healthy boundaries (who) is confident enough in their own ability to say yes and no that they can act interdependent and responsive to others without losing themselves, either in the moment or in the long term. If it takes you a month to know that you did a thing you didn’t want to do, your boundaries may be overly porous and need healing. If you erect walls that are so rigid you cannot hear or see when someone you love needs you, your boundaries may be overly hard and you may need to develop responsiveness and receptivity. Ideally, someone with healthy boundaries can trust in live time their own capacity to listen to their body, needs, and feelings, and not need external permission to do so, while they also have the resilience and self-awareness that lets them empathize with and respond in the moment to those they care about. Healthy boundaries let you assess your own needs and the needs of others, in a moment-by-moment way. They let you act responsive to others and responsive to yourself.

    • It’s as simple (and as difficult) as promoting ways of human living where communication is direct eye to eye and voice to ear, where mobility is accomplished with feet, where the sources of food, water, shelter and all other material necessities can be accessed by those feet, and where the stories, songs and celebrations that matter most are those that directly bind us, our families and communities to the land which gives us our existence at every level: physical, emotional and spiritual.
    • > deflection, obstruction and blockage of [capitalist] business-as-usual
    • "our stories will frame this transformation to a steady-state in terms of maturation rather than collapse, stagnation, regression or a devolutionary ‘going back’. Thus we will stop struggling at all costs to preserve a ten thousand year condition of arrested development (ceaseless adolescent growth) and embrace our long-postponed adulthood."

Anxiety

Recommended: focus on commonality: 

happiness can never result from the exercise of choice alone: we are social beings, 
and the building blocks of happiness lie in looking out for each other, acting together, being in teams 
and pursuing common goals for the common good. 
Families, schools, colleges, unions, newspapers, sports clubs and even firms should all understand that 
such commonality should be part of their core
  • Radical Joy


  • http://sandiegofreepress.org/2016/11/ecopsychological-imperative-dismantle-civilization/
    • The awe I feel with the beauty of it all is an antidote for despair. Instead of ruminating, I am celebrating. The lie that the world seeks to destroy me is replaced with the truth that the land is conspiring to give me life. For the next six hours, I lose myself trying to describe the color of the sky, the wisdom of stones, and the fragrance of pines.
    • The aspens have given me a great gift. They have reminded me how to step out of my own small mind into the communities surrounding me and giving me life. They have taught me that there is no such thing as isolation in the natural world. They have given me a weapon against the despair: listening. While I am busy listening, I am not ruminating. The less I ruminate the healthier I am.
    • Aspens give me medicine as effective as the anti-depressants my psychiatrist prescribes me. Aspens teach me an invaluable skill for resisting rumination as effective as the techniques my therapist teaches me. In doing so, aspens become allies in my personal struggle to overcome depression. As I get better, my mind is less dominated by rumination, and I am better able to contemplate problems beyond myself.


  • Grief due to "Planet of the Humans" https://medium.com/@goodgriever/triggered-planet-of-the-humans-a-call-for-emotional-intelligence-630c8b510f5
    • any meaningful solutions will come from those of us who have been courageous enough to take the time and energy to feel these scary and discomforting feelings. Through processing our griefs and facing reality, we open to new solutions that were previously unavailable to us.
    • We cannot start unweaving until we courageously face the truth that this way of life is killing us. And if we keep pushing forth measures to prop up our lifestyles, we, too, will die. Sit with that realization. Be with the feelings that arise from reading those words. It’s a lot, I know. But it’s also true. We must face our mortality and the mortality of everything. Everything we know and love will die. Our lifestyles have been desperate attempts to ward off our deaths. We are ephemeral beings who have gotten lost in our quest for immortality. These truths don’t change in relation to our ability to stomach them.
    • For those of us privileged enough to have our basic needs met and a stable income, it is on us to use that privilege to start scrutinizing the current paradigms. It is time to start unraveling the threads of our toxic culture. It’s on each of us to begin to heal from the inside out. You must tend to those feelings overwhelming you right now. You are responsible for feeling your full range of feelings, acknowledging your privilege, and taking seriously the situations in which you find yourself. You, and everyone else, is obliged to deconstruct your belief systems and come from a place of curiosity and nimbleness. You are not alone in doing this nor are you responsible for fixing everything yourself. Many of us are entering into collective spaces to heal these wounds and build courage for the road ahead. This is your invitation to come together in heart-centered community to build consciousness around these predicaments.
    • Allow meaning, compassion, insight, and grace to direct the way. There is no more time to waste.

PTSD

In the field of cultic studies, the rhythm of the double world is understood as a driver of disorganized attachment and trauma bonding. The cult member is actively confused by the oscillation between terror danger and care. The leader’s main impact is not to communicate content, but to forge an exploitative relationship through that confusion, which can only be resolved by staying, committing, and investing. Psychologist and cult survivor Alexandra Stein is the pioneer in the field of applying disorganized attachment theory to cultic bonds. Her thesis is that disorganized attachment, a condition first observed by child psychologists studying young children who develop erratic and high-stress responses to traumatizing caregivers, is the very model for cultic bonding, in which the group member feels contradictory impulses of terror and love that can only be resolved through devotion."

    • queerness is gently suggested as an antidote to the hot mess of toxic masculinity under late-stage capitalism. I am absolutely here for it, as long as we all get paid.
    • descend on one hapless, shlubby, usually straight (white) guy and sort his life out... give him a whole new look, redesign his home and wardrobe, teach him some basic kitchen skills, and provide scripted space to talk about his feelings
    • heterosexuality is a disaster, toxic masculinity is killing the world, and there are ways out of it aside from fascism
    • On this show, men do not compete with each other. They touch each other, a lot, They cry and admit to one other how much it hurts to be alive. There are no winners on Queer Eye—just better losers.

    • https://thenewinquiry.com/further-materials-toward-a-theory-of-the-man-child/
    • Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt later used the phrase “affective labor” to describe the emotional exertion that white-collar jobs increasingly require.
    • Women’s long history of performing work without its even being acknowledged as work, much less compensated fairly, may account for their relative success in today’s white-collar economy
    • "In institutions that reward competence with more unpaid labor, the Man-Child needs the Grown Woman to take care of him, and she needs him to need her."
    • almost a definition of "hipster sexism": When casual sexism pervades leftist theory, one assumes it is ironic; when progressive institutions ignore gender politics, one assumes this is because struggles for equality have already been won, or must be deferred so we can attend to more pressing political needs. Intellectuals tend to show class allegiance, bracketing or ignoring casual sexism in their own circles. They project misogyny outward, onto Middle America megachurches and racialized others, or onto the powerful men that pander to those masses.
    • In many radical political groups in the 20th century, sex and gender {and race} were treated as issues for “after the revolution.” ... (in order to) put off thinking about how differences of gender, sex, and sexuality {and race} operate in diverse lives. That sort of thinking takes work, work that many of us would often rather avoid. Because utopia never arrives, this labor gets passed on to the exploited, who do not have the choice of temporarily ignoring the question. In many workplaces, including academic departments, this means that race becomes the “job” of people of color; sexual politics the “job” of people who are female and/or queer and/or transgendered.

  • (2017) Settle Down, "down to earth" https://godsandradicals.org/2017/05/04/settle-down/
    • settling down with oneself, and one’s community, is just about the most radical stance a person can take these days.
    • cultivating a healthy inner life. Having a sense of contentedness, equanimity, patience, inner peace, and wild-eyed wonder at the beauty our world has to offer.
    • We must learn to slow down, to be present in each moment.
    • A sense of duty, care, compassion, and collective responsibility for the planet and the meek of the Earth must be stoked among leaders in civil society.
    • It is possible to draw strength from the planet, as well as lovers and friends and plant and animal allies, after all.
    • Settling also means each of us has to learn how to become rooted in one’s community, state, and nation: growing a stable and harmonious identity, a sense of belongingness, and a meaningful culture.
    • Healthy food, continuing one’s education throughout life, being fulfilled in work and in play, learning to appreciate nature, and developing a spiritual practice are just a few basics.
    • step back from the maelstrom of contemporary life in certain senses: to set examples by not jet-setting around the globe regularly, to give up luxury consumer items in solidarity with the working classes, etc
    • walking barefoot on the soil, our mother Earth, will help people understand how to resist. (ecotherapy)
    • Pacts within communities to promote some sort of egalitarian redistribution of wealth to decrease inequality will foster higher levels of trust, friendship, and reciprocity.
    • Restraint, humbleness, and compassion must reemerge as key values for our descendants to have a chance at a prosperous future.
    • Live simpler. Love harder. Listen to the wind, the rocks and soil, rushing water, a crackling fire. One can find answers by keeping still and listening.
