    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.

    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.

      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.

    1. Globalization, rather than unite the world has split societies asunder: creating a wine-sipping, somewhat wealthy and sophisticated class which is swept into the wonders of the wider world, and an embittered working class that cannot compete as well. It is from that embittered class that authoritarian populism gets its followers. What we are seeing is the backlash to globalization.
