iโ€™m astounded by the terrible and wonderful things humans do to each other

people are very good at acquiring power but no so good at sharing power or letting go

next 10 years will be a lot of that

we're going to see the dinosaur claws of our Power Systems holding on tightly

iโ€™m an expert in power literacy

we need to understand in much more significant way how power works

what are the structures of power, the cultural forms of power, information power

so we can understand what power we have and how to interact with it

the world will be more volatile and complex, and harder to deal with in the next 10 years

the question is:

what to keep and what to let go of in life, relationships, and cultural structures?

what relationships do we need to be in?

what skill sets do we need to have?

whatย amount of effort do we need to put into our communities, not just in the inner world of ourselves?

it's an artistic process

the same is true in politics

we need to figure out how to engage the other

and that's art

it's easy to do together

don't do it alone

can someone help me to move to liberty?

the question is what do we need to do about that?

we need to show humanity a better world is possible

when we have a future we believe in

weโ€™re willing to do hard work

weโ€™re willing to sacrifice

weโ€™re willing to look at the hard questions

to build. to create

what future can we imagine that is safer, better, and more welcoming for a billion migrants from climate catastrophe?

whatโ€™s the world we're building?

I'd say new and healthier ๐Ÿค™

we can go into lots of realms of building and dreaming and higher consciousness and plant-based communities and dream about this bigger world

but true progress requires dismantling the structures, conflicts, and norms that created these conditions
