I'll take critical issues for a spin, let my imagination get to work, and propose approaches or questions which might be useful.

THE TURNING POINT

‘When the mind unfolds, it can make room for more perspectives, for more curiosity, for more people, more connections. Most importantly an unfolding mind is an explorer’s mind.‘

‘Having strong opinions is not a community builder. Being pedantic is not a community builder. Being a know-it-all is not a community builder. When the mind unfolds, then it can make room for more perspectives, for more curiosity, for more people, more connections. Most importantly an unfolding mind is an explorer’s mind. Exploring is particularly fertile when done together. Anyone who experiences that will have an incentive to connect to other explorers.’ quoted from book 4, building, part 1, campaigns, by Charlie Alice Raya street life, 2007-2010, Berlin photo series by Charlie Alice Raya Smug man crossing the street.

HOW DO WE SOLVE THIS?

‘Let’s listen, explore and find out
whether the circus around us
couldn't do with a new tune.’

‘Our minds needed to experience that we have nothing to fear from each other, and that working together works for us. We don’t frustrate each other, we complement and sometimes even energise each other.’

THE END OF ALL WARS

‘You’re right. Domination is a root cause of mistrust.’ ‘And mistrust is a root cause of war.’ ‘Does anyone need to be dominated?’ Several of us shrugged, and one of us said: ‘Some sex games aside, I would say no. Enough people prefer not to be in charge, and they like to leave decisions to others, but being a leader doesn’t have to mean to dominate others. A good leader is more like a guide, I would say. And people do look for guidance.’ ‘That’s something we can include, an outline for non-dominant, non-violent and non-exploitative leadership.’ We nodded. ‘To conclude, all we did to uproot our seeds of war in our minds and to come together was to be in a desperate situation, go on a perilous journey, have an honest meltdown about being enemies, decide that exploring how to end all wars is more important than our grievances, find a paradise island and work together towards a common goal. That doesn’t sound too difficult.’ We chuckled. ‘I think, the fact that we have our independence and that we respect each other’s independence is crucial, too. But you’re right, our minds only needed to experience that we have nothing to fear from each other and that working together works for us. We don’t frustrate each other, we complement and sometimes even energise each other.’ Charlie Alice Raya, THE END OF ALL WARS Old beech, forest track.

OUR FUTURE is in our hands!

The Big Cleanup is a short story from a planet where people decide to tackle their mess & clean up their planet.

‘Instead of doing anything, we were used to seeking solace in denial & more destructions.’

HAPPY NEW YEAR
and one where we choose to make plans for how we can transform our world into one where our ecosystems recover and our societies become havens of communities.

HOW CAN IT BE DONE?

And how would I go about
- ending the use of crude oils
- pausing most animal farming
- restoring ecosystems?

In all cases, I would start with the following 🧵

It’s quite simple:

We will not survive if we squeeze nature into a few cracks & deplete the rest of our planet.

We will only survive if we restore what we can & do so without delay.

And yes, that means: end crude oil extraction 🧵
