What to do as the world falls apart? 🤔 Last week, the #Thrutopia Club #zurich discussed Nate Hagens' “ #Framework for #Action.” Key idea: start by building #networks, shared understanding, and practical skills. The framework highlights 6 fronts of intervention, from ecology to governance and culture, plus 3 phases of transition toward resilient local communities. One key takeaway: we need equanimity to face complexity without being destroyed by it.

What are Thrutopian stories and why do we need them? How do they work? And most importantly, how can we craft them to land most effectively with ourselves and each other at scale and in time? accidentalgods.life/thoughts-fro... #AccidentalGods #Podcast #Thrutopia #ThrutopianThinking

Thoughts from the Edge: Manda explores Thrutopian narratives, the building of intent and the paths to a future we'd be proud to leave behind

In this solo episode, Manda walks us through the middle way between the dystopia of now, towards the utopia of a future in which humanity flourishes as an integral part of a thriving plant. What could it and would it be like if each of us woke up every morning feeling safe, feeling confident in our ability to meet the challenges of the day in ways that would leave the world a better place? How would we feel if every moment of life was alive with a sense of meaning and purpose, of connection to all parts of ourselves, each other and the web of life?

The Joy of Becoming Lost: Maps, Myths and Navigating the meta-crisis with Sam Crosby of Recalling Fire

We are a storied species – we live and breathe and love and learn by the rich tapestry of stories that shape our lives. Everything we do from picking a career to moving house, from finding our life's co-creator(s) to choosing what to have for lunch is underpinned by stories of who we are and how the world works. Often, we take these stories so much for granted that we don't even recognise they are stories - we genuinely believe the world works like this...

I still haven’t finished reading this, and sadly have to resume working, but still I already think it’s worth the reading, even if just for the concepts and optics it brings (such as “thrutopia”).

Inspirational Collapses? Learning from the civilisations that tried to break down well

We believe that more historians and archaeologists can step into a public, reflective role, helping societies explore narratives beyond either progress and growth fetishism on the one hand, or nostalgic and fortress mentalities on the other.

🪂 PARACHUTING BEAVERS
Save the Day 🦫🥇

After WW2, beavers in conflict with human neighbors had to be moved from suburbs to an Idaho mountains river basin.

✈️ No usual method of transportation worked in the dense slopes, so they attached spring-loaded boxes to parachutes, put in 76 beavers, and chunked them out of a plane.

It worked. There is video.

😲 Recent imaging of the beaver reintroduction landscape shows
🔥🧯 wildfire impacts were reduced
🌳 🌲 vegetation level was also higher

US officials parachuted 76 beavers into the Idaho wilderness – then something astounding happened | Discover Wildlife

In post-World War II North America, beavers were wreaking havoc in rural communities. So the state department came up with an ingenious solution involving parachutes
