THE TURNING POINT

‘You don’t know how the world works.’

‘Last time I looked, it wasn’t working. At best it’s stumbling drunkenly and blindly while still puffing out its chest and pretending that everything is alright.’

HAPPY NEW YEAR
and one where we choose to dig deeper, sideways and expand on what we know to shape a world where people and nature thrive.

DIGGING DEEPER

#4
FACTS & TRUTH

I’ll dig in two directions here: one is about our changing perceptions and knowledge over time. The other is trickier and asks what is the benefit of facts and truths?

MAKING UP STORIES TO LEARN

One thing, I didn’t expect from writing is how much I would learn in my own stories, from my own characters.

IMAGINATION

There's little hope for our future unless we use our imagination - and a lot of it.

My beef with kindness

‘Her actions were motivated by a need to find solutions that might put an end to the devastations and disrespect people inflict upon each other.’

Quick reminder of what DIGGING DEEPER is about before it digs in again.

DIGGING DEEPER

FACTS & TRUTH

I consider lying cowardice and obscuring justice criminal. Fake news/stories are acts of vandalism (at best). Lobbyism is short-sighted idiocy & greed (on all sides). And sloppy research makes me curse (at best).

However, I am critical of so-called facts & truth.

MAKING UP STORIES TO LEARN

I love inventing stories to explore an idea, to dig deeper into a question, or to test what would happen in this or that scenario. One thing, I didn’t expect from writing is how much I would learn in my own stories, from my own characters.

IMAGINATION
:
When I speak of imagination, I speak of the explorer’s and creator’s kind of imagination which can take something existing and use it as a starting point to imagine something new or something extended.

What’s this project about?

For DIGGING DEEPER I pick up ideas, statements, narratives, books, anything really that tickles me to dig deeper, sideways and in some cases to extend.

MY BEEF WITH KINDNESS
Thread in connection with CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE

In 2022, I contacted a number of people, sending them extracts of my work. One of them returned a thank you note without referring to the content of my letter, adding: Thank you for your kindness.

#diggingdeeper #kindness

I know (and you probably don't) that I'm way behind schedule. I will have to drop a few posts, but I hope to get ahead of schedule in a few more days.

My beef with kindness will go online tonight. Tomorrow CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE has a longer chapter, but I hope to write a piece which covers

DIGGING DEEPER
warmup

We live in a fantastic time.

Everything is collapsing and the
consequences of our & our ancestor’s mistakes become visible all around us.

What to expect from DIGGING DEEPER

Take a look at the preliminary schedule to get an idea of where I’ll be digging.

All subjects have a connection shaping our future and with that to CAMPAIGNS FOR OUR FUTURE.

#strongertogether #resist #rethink #climateaction #rise #tippingpoints #planet

This is a @charlie-alice-raya.org project.

What we believe is the result of what we think we know.

Once we go on an exploration, our minds can wriggle themselves free and can discover worlds upon worlds.

'Humans have become experts in judging and criticising each other. What if we managed to shape a culture of expanding each other’s thoughts, of putting our minds together, instead of banging our heads against each other?'
