This is an interesting point. It is very symbolic that you feel this sense of giving up right at the time where its time to go to bed and recharge - almost as if we were built for this lol.

I know this is hardly your main point, but it kind of decenters the human by reminding us of our natural rhythms of wakefulness and fatigue.

With this in mind, I wanted to say your guide does a great job on taking a personal and reflective tone. As a reader, I feel your project is highly relatable and uncomplicated, and makes me so much more open to absorbing the proposals you introduce.

This is really powerful. Honestly, your project really moved me in so many ways - I feel you have put to paper so many of the raw emotions we all feel in the Anthropocene.

So true!!!

Apparently, there isn't more bad news today than there was in the past, but as you describe so well here, we are being constantly bombarded. This brought to mind the trope of awakening and how increased awareness is often framed as a kind intellectual clarity, but can just as easily become paralyzing.

I feel this section remains a bit theoretical, and could greatly benefit from tangible examples of what this could look like. This would go on to benefit the reader in better answering the later questions of this segment.

I was thinking about this in terms of involving non-Western points of view, and gathering examples from lived realities/belief systems that emphasize sufficiency.

This reminds me of one of the conversations we had as a class, on the idea that once a society has been introduced to capitalism, there is essentially no way of going back. I wonder how you think a utopia of sufficiency could illicit such a huge cognitive shift. As it stands today, it feels almost impossible to imagine the ecological take precedence over comfort. I wish for this utopia to be a reality, even if not wholly, having aspects of it would be wonderful.

Love this. Wonderful way to draw your reader in to actively engage in your proposal. I think especially considering the B + F readings we've done in this class, it is crazy how easily guides to the Anthropocene can distance the audience from both the issues being presented and their own implication within them.

I love this!! Makes your guide untraditional in the sense that there are distinct pathways to go through it, but having them be guided based off of the readers interest makes it easily navigate-able + customizable.
