“We’re out of touch with our emotional life, our heart, our sense of what is good. Our civilization’s picture of “success” tends to produce wealth alongside exhaustion and sickness. That’s misalignment. We have technical and political problems, yes, but the root will not be reached with a new engineering trick or policy proposal. At the risk of sounding trite: we are in obvious need of a shift in consciousness, a shift of attention away from ideas that are killing us and the earth toward ideas more conducive to flourishing.”

@neauoire @oppen I am okay with #politics sans #CW when it includes segue, or optimism, or points on #thrivability including sustainability, or encouragement, or other forms of resiliance, love, and support for each other.
