If moxie is in short supply, if buzzy phrases like 'find your people' and 'build community' are falling flat, if you're flailing and bailing instead of showing up, if current events are sapping your power, a response is to focus on your stoke & seek agency on a scale that will succeed.

The same people who tried to refute the link between cigarettes and cancer also tried to refute the link between fossil fuels and global warming. When corporations don’t like scientific facts they try to undermine all science.

"You have to work hard at ...rigorously casting off your own paradigms and throwing yourself into the humility of Not Knowing. In the end, it seems that mastery has less to do with pushing leverage points than it does with strategically, profoundly, madly letting go." - Donella Meadows

There are three ways in which we respond to sorrow. On the first level, we cry; on the second level, we are silent; on the highest level, we take sorrow and turn it into song. —Abraham Joshua Heschel paraphrasing Menachem Mendel Morgensztern

We agree that clearly stating science-based outlooks are important. Analyses often differ regarding when a tipping point may occur. Stay informed. Confirm sources. Think and act with eyes, ears, and heart open. (Rob’s comment here is on a thread of his that’s strikes us as helpful. Check it out)

A senior member of one the world’s largest reinsurance companies talks “polycrisis.” --> maybe there is some there there? --> maybe business as usual is no longer usual? --> maybe Deep Adaptation makes sense?

We ought to embrace our entangled state, work with it and each other, exploring "the limits and possibilities of our shared environment rather than hoping for walls, moats, ethnostates, apocalypse retreats, treasure troves, or spacecrafts to sever us from it." - Maggie Nelson in Riding the Blinds

Action is the antidote to despair. Action is the antidote to fear. Action is the antidote to anxiety. A million action options out there! Start by talking to family and friends. What can we do? Choosing an option and beginning is good for mental health. (Original phrase attributed to Joan Baez)

Can humanity frame out and enact a natural or spiritual ethic that can serve as the foundation of a truly sustainable and long-lasting civilization? Yes. Within the current paradigm? No. Is that a doomy opinion? Not necessarily --> humanity will choose how to respond as the future unfolds...

Rebecca Solnit: “They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.”
