A short clip from my podcast appearance on The Jim Rutt Show where I speak about the antidebate project @Perspecteeva (While the general point is widely known, this *addiction-distraction-entertainment-culture* framing comes from Ted Gioia in his recent State of Culture essay)

I’m heartened and excited by this 👇 I listened to @Ayishas12 read her poetry and discuss her climate activism at an event in NYC in November and felt deeply impressed by her insight, lyricism and composure. “The future frolics about, promised to no one, as is her right.” 🔥
We are delighted to announce that Ayisha Siddiqa @Ayishas12, Environmental & Human Rights Defender, Climate Advisor to the UN Secretary-General, is joining us at Realisation this year. 27th-30th June at St Giles House in Dorset. Find out more: realisationfestival.com

“This frontier of actual meeting between what we call a self and what we call the world is the only place, actually, where things are real.”-David Whyte. Some updated reflections on Perspectiva’s antidebate project, informed by the idea that reality is a conversation.

This is amazing, @Jonathan_Rowson. Folks, you should watch this. Katie Teague knocked this mini-documentary out of the park. A FINE statement on the #metacrisis and how to respond adaptively by becoming a planetary citizen. youtube.com/watch?v=IjOQB608…
