You make me quite proud to be European :).

Maybe it’s just age, I’ve lived through the cold war and the extremely depressing heroin eighties. So, from where I am standing, I am very clearly seeing the end of capitalism as we have long known it. It’s in a death struggle, darkest before dawn. Humanism is like water, soft but extremely powerful. Because, unlike dictators, or so-called “strong men”, it can unite people for far longer than them. Fear erodes. Just look at the cold war, when people stopped fearing, it collapsed.

The best in the world is now coming together and joining forces. Lots of brilliant people and lots of loving people are realizing that they have to act now. The more this neural network of collective consciousness develops the more impossible it becomes to fight it.

So help it grow smartly. Focus your writing on this. Help it gravitate forward.

Three fundamentals I’ve learned so far:

1. realize your time and money are the true agents of change if you chose them wisely,
2. well actually 1, invest-invest-invest to reinforce this collective network. (support AOC’s Green New Deal, go on Patreon (prof Steve Keen is a brilliant man I’ve recently decided to support), read Roger Hallam on nonviolent rebellion, follow Mark Shepard’s (amongst many) lead on food, etc, etc, etc. It’s, as John Thackara justly points out, all about incremental steps leading to exponential change.
3. finally, we do need a much smarter system of governance. My bet is on sociocracy. A consent-based governance system in which the smartest ideas win.

It’s truly the best of times — so let’s make it work! Together!
