Hi Jim, I have to laugh. I don't have any magic solutions here.
There is a video I just saw that sure speaks to the predicament
we humans are in around the world. You may have seen it. US military
Just when you want to scream no more they do move to possibilities.
I am convinced that our economic systems need to be fundamentally changed if humans are to have a chance of living sustainably and peacefully. My research question has been what does that new economic approach look like? I am not talking about philosophy here. I am looking at process, systems,principles..
These questions and many more are fueling innovation right now. How do we use less water in growing food? How do we use the universe's gifts to us like the sun and wind to fuel this new economy? What will it take to waste nothing that this earth has given us? Add your own questions.
Whatever, we need a concrete vision of a new economy we can all create together with principles that care for the earth and all creatures including ourselves regardless of political system.
Consensus around the economy we are trying to bring into being would allow appropriate skills training and give young people a standing place for
creating their own careers and making a difference for the future.
I suspect that as a global community we have the methods and wisdom to
elicit that vision. Perhaps there are some young and old ones out there who are ready to take this on in both face to face and online experiences.
I may feel old at times but there is still a lot of fire in these bones!😃
Cheers,
Jeanette
