I agree to fight the elites head-on only supports their position (you thereby acknowledge their power over you). Non-participation in the system by boycotting the dollar economy is fine too. But you also need to work very hard towards creating a new vision/framework for the future. For people to be able to gravitate towards. Without some kind of new point of hope on the horizon, you simply won’t last. We won’t last…..

That is why I find these three young women very inspirational > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UaHip9P1tQ&list=LLPkL-LnXBastRngFGorWQUw&index=12&t=9s

Sure, I too am dead and dead tired of seeing very stupid people run our economy and destroy our planet. Even our so-called “Greenparty”, GroenLinks, here is total b***sh**. Very depressing. But I can't change them, only my own actions and attitude.

I am expecting serious problems in the near future due to distribution chain and climate change issues (food shortages and outbreaks of violence) So, on the one hand, I have hedged my family’s options by buying 4ha of good climate-resilient farmland and setting it up as agroforestry as a backup.

But that’s a short/mid-term (and kind of selfish, personal,) solution. It still won’t give my kid (8) any real future. As her parent, I have a responsibility there too. So I must help to create some sort of foundation for a better and fairer future.

In the past decades, I’ve done my reading homework. I have a reasonable notion of where we should/could be heading, now it’s time to actively walk the talk. Set intelligent and effective next steps. 5 years ago I co-founded a sociocratically governed design studio (so no “owners’’ and our official mission statement is to aim for sustainable design), now it’s time to also go for an ECG balance sheet and publish it openly. Be the future we want and learn with each following step.
