The next decade (2025-2035) is a critical inflection point. Converging crises - Climate, AI, Geopolitics, Economy, Trust - are creating a 'polycrisis'.

History offers a compass to navigate this crucible moment. Choices made now will shape centuries. Read the deep dive:

This piece by Ernesto van Peborgh is more or less where I am at on all this - #RegenerativeAnthropology and all. One particular point I liked: he uses the term #Metacrisis instead of #polycrisis, to capture that it’s all one big crisis. I agree, it’s better. Will use it too from now on

(And yes, it’s on Substack. I didn’t put it there. I am aware Substack is part of the problem. Feel free to just not open it).

Keep your eye on US Treasury yields! Clear, detailed analysis of the potential for financial crisis by @adamtooze.bsky.social, explained in everyday language, not the gobbledygook used by most analysts/economists. #Resisters #Trumpcession #Polycrisis adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

"Faced with economic stagnation the elites are panicking. Wild eyed in the control room, they thrash around seeking to fix the unfixable, pushing all the buttons, pulling all the levers, to no avail, just making things worse. They try the old mantra “growth”, repeated endlessly, and given a priority above all else."

"Oligarchs and corporations on both sides of the Atlantic want to stamp out any threat to their interests. In the US, this effort has been led by the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. In the UK, the commissioner for countering extremism, Robin Simcox, appointed by the Conservative government, but who remains in post until July, previously worked at … the Heritage Foundation" -- George Monbiot

"Last year [UK police] sent over 1,000 officers from 39 forces, spending £3m, to shut down a climate camp and arrest 24 people, on the grounds that they might have been planning to occupy a road outside a power station. At the same time, they fail even to investigate serious organised crime, citing insufficient resources" -- George Monbiot

"Keir #Starmer’s team might not look or sound like Donald Trump’s, but its policies on protest and dissent are chillingly similar. So is the reason: coordinated global lobbying by the rich and powerful, fronted by rightwing junktanks" -- George Monbiot

If anyone is looking for a community to think on how we can get ourselves out of our current messes, I enthusiastically recommend Reading to reMAKE:

https://www.australiaremade.org/reading-group

#AusPol #politas #polycrisis

"Reading to reMAKE is a regular reading group for anyone wanting a facilitated space to delve into some of the important ideas of our times. Over the course of the year, we’ll read chapters from authors like Naomi Klein, Rebecca Solnit, Yanis Varoufakis and Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò. Deep thinkers who question where we are, how we got here and what we might help to happen next.

"We welcome anyone who wants to collectively explore new ways of thinking regardless of formal levels of education. The aim is to create a space where we can test ideas, discard them after consideration if they don’t fit and build on them if they do; a space to think together. It will require an openness and willingness to allow ourselves to be ‘wrong’ and to change our minds, to listen, to experiment and to play with ideas and possibilities."

"A rare #tornado emergency was issued amid a 'particularly dangerous situation' late Wednesday afternoon, and the same areas blasted by destructive storms will soon face a significant risk of #flooding."

1 - "understanding is power"
2 - "organising is what we, as social animals, were born to do"
3 - "we have to put forward a positive vision, worth fighting for"

Yes.
