      comment - The MAGA movement needs to deeply reflect on this - They claim national pride but do not go further back in history than the establishment of the United States - They need to recognize how the US was established on genocide in order to live in cultural truth - This reality creates a contradiction to their entire theme of white national power - It makes the elimination of DEI hypocritical as indigenous peoples have a far more legitimate claim than they do

    1. for - youtube - Ecology or Economics? - David Suzuki - humans and nature - nondual relationship - humans and nature - intertwingled

      Summary - David Suzuki gives a great talk on the relationship between ecology ad economy - In particular, the standout for me is the story of intertwingledness and nonseparation he learned from the Haida people. - See the annotations below to find the part of the talk when he has the epiphany that we are not separated from nature, and he learns this from the Haida people's nondual relationship with nature

    2. What is it that delivers the air that we can breathe? Guess what? It's all the green things on the planet. Surely that should-- does that have a value in our economic system? Guess what? Economists call that an externality. And what I found out is, they don't care about that. It's considered so vast it's irrelevant to our economy.

      for - quote - air is a resource so vast has no value in the economy - David Suzuki

    3. the challenge is to reduce our circle within that planet. We've got to reduce and get back down to a size that makes sense. And within that circle, which is us, is a much smaller circle, which is the economy. That should be the way that we look at it. The biosphere, our species, and the economy,

      for - economy is within ecology - David Suzuki

    4. if you're going to talk about a shift in our paradigm, it is to recognize what indigenous people have always known, that we are created out of the elements of Mother Earth. And those should be our greatest responsibility, to protect them for ourselves and the rest of life on Earth.

      for - quote - intertwingledness of living beings and the earth - David Suzuki

      quote - intertwingledness of living beings and the earth - David Suzuki - if you're going to talk about a shift in our paradigm, it is to recognize what indigenous people have always known, - that we are created out of the elements of Mother Earth. - and those should be our greatest responsibility, to protect them for ourselves and the rest of life on Earth.

    5. We are animals. And as animals, our most important need is a breath of air. Without air for more than three or four minutes, you're either brain damaged or dead. So surely to goodness, air ought to be, as a society, our highest priority. The protection of the quality of air should come before anything else. We are water. Go without water for more than a few days, you're dead. Have to drink contaminated water, you're sick. So surely, water, like air, should be one of our society's highest priorities. And we are created out of the food that we eat. So protecting the soil that gives us our food should be one of our highest priorities. And protecting the photosynthetic capacity of the planet is in our highest self-interest.

      for - quote - we are animals - protect - air - water - food - David Suzuki

    6. Think about what is the most important thing that we needed the moment every one of us left our mother's body. Well, of course, it was a breath of air. That first breath was to announce our arrival on the planet and inflate our lungs. And from that moment on to the last breath you take before you die, you need air 15 to 40 times a minute.

      for - example - intertwingledness - nonduality - non-separation - story of breathing air - David Suzuki

    7. What Guujaaw was saying was, we Haida don't end at our skin or our fingertips. To be Haida means to be connected to the land, that the air, the water, the trees, the fish, the birds, all of that is what makes us Haida. The land embodies our history, our culture. The very reason why Haida are on this earth is told to them by their connection with the land. Destroy those elements, and you destroy what it is to be Haida.

      for - quote - story of non-separation - intertwingledness - nonduality - Haida Gwaii - David Suzuki

    8. We need technology, much of it to solve the problems that we've created with technology in the first place. But since our ignorance is so vast, how could we possibly develop new technologies that wouldn't in turn create more technologies-- more difficulties that we hadn't anticipated? And you see it in spades right now.

      for - progress trap - David Suzuki

    9. by the time Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, we knew there were ramifications we didn't-- couldn't have anticipated, the most amazing being biomagnification. When eagles began to disappear in the United States, scientists tracked it down to the fact that DDT sprayed at low concentrations would be amplified up the food chain. So by the time you get to the fatty glands and the fat tissue and the shell glands of birds and the breasts of women, DDT was concentrated hundreds of thousands of times beyond what we had sprayed it at. By the 1960s, women's breast milk was considered too toxic to feed to babies.

      for - progress trap - DDT - David Suzuki

    10. she said is, yeah, you scientists are clever. You can make powerful compounds like DDT, but you don't know enough to anticipate all of the consequences. Because, first of all, the lab is not a replica of the real world. The lab is an artifact, something that has very little to do with the real world out there. In the real world, everything is connected to everything else, and we don't know enough to anticipate the effects of what we do with our powerful technologies.

    1. for - Team Human - Weirdness - Trump - Douglas Rushkoff - Team Human - Weirdness

      Summary - Rushkoff provides good reasons why we should question the social constructs we accept as absolute truths all around us - He brings up the possibility that the Trump government and all the florry of surrounding chaotic activity may be an indicator of the end of 4 centuries of a pathological social construct that has alienated most of humanity

    1. THE PROBLEM IS, RON VARA DOESN'T EXIST. HE NEVER HAS. THE ECONOMICS EXPERT THAT PETER NAVARRO HAS LONG CITED TO EXPLAIN WHY HE'S SO GUNG HO ON TARIFFS. THIS PERSON, RON VARA, IS A MADE UP PERSON. HE IS A FICTIONAL PERSON. PETER NAVARRO INVENTED RON VARA AS HIS EXPERT SOURCE, SO HE COULD QUOTE THIS EXPERT SOURCE OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN HIS CRACKPOT BOOKS. WHO IS RON VERA? RON VERA IS AN ANAGRAM OF NAVARRO, WHICH IS HIS LAST NAME.

      for - Trump Tariff's - based on Ron Vara

    1. China, however, can be expected to return fire. Already it has halted imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US for 40 days – a move attributed to trade tensions. This may seem like good news for emissions reduction. However, China, like all other nations, needs energy. With less gas from the US, it may resort to burning more coal – which generates more CO₂ when burnt than gas.

      for - adjacency - tariff - substitution - coal for LNG - higher carbon emissions

    2. The COVID experience provides a cautionary tale. The unstable economic outlook and higher interest rates meant banks were more cautious about financing some renewable energy projects. And according to the International Energy Agency, small to medium-sized businesses became more reluctant to invest in renewable energy applications such as heat pumps and solar panels.

      for - adjacency - economic slowdown - COVID - less investment in renewables

    3. nations focus on making goods where they have a competitive advantage – in other words, where they can manufacture the item more cheaply than other nations can. That includes making them using less energy, or creating fewer carbon emissions. If the US insists on manufacturing everything it needs domestically, we can expect many of those goods to be more emissions-intensive than if they were imported.

      for - adjacency - higher carbon emissions - made in US

    4. The move has prompted fears of a global economic slowdown. This might seem like a positive for the climate, because greenhouse gas emissions are closely tied to economic growth. However, in the long term, the trade war is bad news for global efforts to cut emissions. It is likely to lead to more energy-intensive goods produced in the US, and dampen international investment in renewable energy projects.

      for - carbon emission impacts of Trump tariffs

    1. for - climate crisis - impacts of Trump tariffs - carbon emission impacts of Trump tariffs

      comment - I'm surprised that not one analyst has commented on the potential slowdown of a possible recession due to lower consumer activity due to the tariffs - Remember the significant lowering of carbon emissions during COVID? - Of course it wouldn't be durable and carbon emissions could rise after Trump and tariffs may no longer be in place but now is a good time to strategize how to decarbonize strategically

    1. climate futures imagined through climate modelling travel sequentially between the desks of expert communities and the IPCC, into the political sphere of the UNFCCC – leading to particular, often narrowly technocratized, imaginaries about possible climate futures (Oomen, 2019; Swyngedouw, 2011).

      for - example - imagined futures - failure of puersuasiveness of climate models

    2. material organization and access to anticipatory tools such as integrated assessment models also play an important part in the scripting and staging of futuring performances – as do the bodily competences of the practitioners.

      for - futuring - different strokes for different folks - quantitative presentations of climate futures is ineffective for an audience that cannot appreciate it - the choice of how to present the future is therefore critical to produce a desirable response

    3. Back-casting exercises that start from an imagined desirable future derive part of their imaginative authority from pre-existing notions of plausibility, but they may also draw from notions about the value of democratic participation.

      for - futures - backcasting

    4. This article, then, has three aims.

      Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

      summary - This a a paper that frames design and innovation, - among the most ubiquitous and important of all human activities - as a branch of futuring - Design and innovation bring something new into existence - That which is designed - is that which is imagined - is that which is not yet real - is that which is therefore a fiction - Innovation brings the fictional and imagined into reality through mobilizing and coordinating social behavior that realizes the imagined future. - This is especially critical as our species needs to rapidly imagine and bring about an aspirational future that mitigates our existential polycrisis

    6. The Anthropology of the Future, there are at least six types of affective relationships with the future: anticipation, expectation, speculation, potentiality, hope and destiny – with utopias and dystopias as particularly powerful affective motivators (Moore, 1966; Sliwinski, 2016).

      for - book - The Anthropology of the Future - Bryant and Knight (2019) - affective relationships with the future - anticipation - expectation - speculation - potentiality - hope - destiny

    7. Affect regulates another aspect of the performative relationship between past, present and future. Where the performativity of expectations relies on credibility, on being believed and expected, affect relies on (a form of) emotive investment.

      adjacency - between - affect - imagined futures - performative - expectations - credibility - emotive investment - adjacency relationship - This sentence is a highly integral and convergent one that brings together many important adjacent ideas - Affect (emotions) is important because if we are emotionally invested in a story of an imagined future, it gives it credibility

What energy do I put into my work? - system is not concrete and fixed but fluid - fielding - bringing different human fields together - I can work with hatred and rage on the inside and transmute it so that I don't add to it on the outside

      JOHN: - stuck systems and lens of trauma can help us get unstock - 70% of people have experienced trauma - trauma is part of the human experience - people make up systems - so traumatized people makes traumatized systems - fight, flight and freeze happens at both levels - at system level, its fractally similiar - disembodied from wisdom - in state of survival and fear - fixing things - until we deal with the trauma in the people, we will continue to have traumatized systems - More work won't help if it's coming from traumatized people

      EDWIN - incremental change - something holding us back - built upon these traumas - Economic metrics are out of touch with how the trauma affects systems - Journey - awareness first, then understanding and inner transformation and finally change - Discussion with funders - most are still stuck in old paradigm of metrics, audits, etc - this comes with trauma because we have no trust on who is on the other side - a big part of the system is built on mistrust, creates more gaps between us - need to become anti-fragile

      ANNIKA - Funders have lack of trust because inner work hasn't been done on both sides - As a funder, we really try to create a space of trust - Think of the language we use to be inclusive - How do we make inner work a part of the operating system of how we work? - We looked at 500 mental health organizations over the years - It's so urgent now that we align our work

      EDWIN - We have a lot of half-formed thoughts - It's very complex and nobody has cracked it - We have a phrase at Axum that we move at the speed of trust - To do something different, they need to trust you - When I think of the discussions I've had with heads of states and CEOs, these meaningful inner ideas are not often brought up

      LAURA - When there's no trust, even if there is no danger, the trauma is still brought up - We need to shift our lens on trauma and become aware of when trauma emerges - quote - inner condition of the intervener determines the success of intervention - Bill O'Brien

      LOUISE - I work a lot with nervous system and body system - We need small changes in our nervous system - If I try to do something big, I can re-traumatize myself - We also have a collective nervous system - Restore love to all parts of your system first - Make friends with trees to seed actions from union

      JOHN - Become aware of my own trauma triggers - When we see an outsized reaction, we can guess that person is undergoing personal trauma - A settled body settles bodies - If we are calm, it helps calm others

      LAURA - Feel where we don't feel grounded, where we shame ourselves, feel compassion there

      QUESTIONS - See below

      • mushrooms and ayuahuasca - is it helpful?

      • A lot of women forget the feminine energy to climb the ladder and get sick?

      • backlash - feels like white men were being pushed to do work they weren't ready to do so now reclaiming their comfortable traumatized space

      • how early do we start to teach this knowledge?

      • How do organizations hold space for the enormous trauma that the US govt is manufacturing. We need to build this practice into organizations to help deal with the onslaight

      • Youth are so hungry for being in the presence of others who are wise, compassionate. We can't move faster than the speed of trust but it needs to become accessible.

      ANSWERS - See below

      LOUISE - Organizations have a huge role to play at this time - We want to reconfigure and transform the trauma - Deep forming teams in organizations to help transform - Trauma fields want to come through human nervous systems to transform - We are both feminine and masculine and the masculine wounding is very important and needs to find the feminine - We cannot go away by ourselves to heal from patriarchy, colonialism energies

      ANNIKA - In terms of how we fund, can we fund differently? We need to fund these spaces

      EDWIN - I sit on board of Wellbeing project - changemakers go through burnout - how do we prevent this and create a container that can sustain them? - Weve brought 20,000 people in summits who have affected 3 million people. Please come to the Hurts summit in Czec and Wellbeing project - When pendulum swings back from individual space, we should be like a spiral

      JOHN - In systems change spaces, trauma is seldom spoken of. - Systems work will not work if we ignore trauma - This is critical

      Quote - Today’s humans are biologically the same as people who lived 10,000 years ago -Richard Heinberg

      • Today’s humans are biologically the same as people who lived 10,000 years ago;
        • but our current
          • habits,
          • expectations, and
          • beliefs
        • are almost entirely tied to
          • machines,
          • infrastructure,
          • energy sources, and
          • artificial materials
        • that have only recently come into existence.
      • Compared to our hunter-gatherer forebears,
        • we might as well be from another planet.

    1. Serbia is such an important player in this part of the world. And this isn't the first round of student protests. They played a big role in the 1990s as well.

      for - question - Serbia - student protests - how to avoid making the same mistake? - People make the same mistake, - big protests give opportunity for the next authoritarian leader to game representative democracy - Something must be done fundamentally differently to prevent this from happening in the future

    1. By sacred we mean unique, intrinsically worthy of respect and dignity, relational, life-giving and sustaining, and defiant of commodification.

      for - definition - sacred

      definition - sacred - While acceptable, I don't think this definition fails to sufficiently capture the essence of the word "sacred" for the purposes of the Deep Humanity praxis, where it plays a central role. - For Deep Humanity, we define the sacred as the intrinsic state of reality that is - a fundamental aspect of every aspect of phenomena and - transcends all attempts to describe it because it is intrinsic to all human aspects as well, including thought and language - is the source of all wonder and awe. - is the source of inspiration, creativity and healing - is intrinsic to every human and nonhuman living / dying being - is the nondual, unifying force between - individuals of our species - our entire species - and the rest of nature

    2. some Indigenous activists criticize urban commons initiatives, groups, and advocates for not acknowledging the Indigenous homelands/treaty lands that the commons occur upon, or consulting with contemporary treaty holders.

      for - problems between - commons - indigenous peoples

      problems - between - commons - indigenous peoples - problem relationship - commons need to acknowledge the situatedness of contemporary society as a result of centuries of - genocide, - colonialism, - enslavement and - extractionism - We build today's commons recognizing that it is situated in a contemporary modernity built upon the mass suffering of indigenous peoples, who are the original practitioners of many of the principles advocated by commons practice - As such, lip service cannot simply be paid but the indigenous community must be included in commoning processes as a minimum form of reconciliation of persisting structural inequalities

    3. t is not true that leaving finance to the market will arrange everything well, as the past 40 years have shown. The market systemically misprices things by way of improper discounting of the future, false externalities and many other predatory miscalculations, which have led to gross inequality and biosphere destruction. And yet right now it’s the way of the world, the law of the land. Capital invests in the highest rate of return, that’s what the market requires.

    4. anthropologist Arturo Escobar evokes the Zapatista Movement’s notion of “a world where many worlds fit” and draws out principles for transition (re)design that support the idea of partially connected but radically different worlds, that would relocalize and communalize social life, and enable autopoiesis (self-creation of living systems).

    5. City building, according to a sacred civics, is transformational work, as it recognizes the persistent paradigms of colonialism5 and imperialism

      for - adjacency - cities - imperialism - colonialism - inequality - perpetuation

      adjacency - between - cities - imperialism - colonialism - inequality - perpetuation - adjacency relationship - Large cities have structural inequality baked into them through centuries of legacy practices. - The urban spatial planning of cities are centuries-old patterns that perpetuate intergenerationally - In broad strokes, the centuries of exploitation, extractivism and colonial genocide of the global north upon the global south created the great structural wealth of cities in the global north, and the great structural poverty of cities of the global south - As colonialism receded and global south countries attained autonomy, they were left with deep scars of inequality, exasperated by the IMF and the World Bank, keeping them trapped in cycles of debt - Global north cities also suffered a local north / local south phenomena as well as global industrial capitalism made inequality democratic around the globe - Due to the effect of integenerational wealth and intergenerational poverty inheritance, it is exceedingly difficult to make structural changes in the current political-social-economic system.
