If you were alarmed by the last Fertility and Sterility issue on the global fertility decline (buff.ly/ANqyfA1), take a break and read this nice article:

The afterword: just think outside the (impossible) ever-growing capitalist paradigm.

‘Easy Town is not about clean, perfect, ordered or about looking away. I’m not sure what it will be about. I’m not sure Easy Town is possible. But I’d like to find out.’

Creating a town that allows for such a supportive environment, that’s something we can attempt to do. And while we are at it, we can question and rethink whatever else might need a rethink. One more thing: early tribes invented gods to combat their fears. I guess, we are still mostly driven by fear and anxiety. Only today, we don’t invent gods. Today, we make order and rules. We sort everything and everyone into nice categories. We find labels, rules and explanations for every eventuality. We bring everything under control. We use disinfectants wherever we can. We become cleaner and more perfect by the day. I think that is as useless a way to combat our fears and anxieties as was inventing gods. Easy Town is not about clean, perfect, ordered or about looking away. I’m not sure what it will be about. I’m not sure Easy Town is possible. But I’d like to find out.’ Silence. ‘It’s got to be worth a try,’ Jack said, only then realising that he had spoken aloud.

Maybe more importantly, this story illustrates ideas which might be worth testing in the real world for a real future.

The challenge is not only power, but perspective.
We must unlearn the illusion of centrality — to see ourselves not as the center, but as part of a vast conversation.
#Rethinking #WorldOrder
To find tomorrow,
we must leave behind the dream of being its center.
Remember the poets who dared,
the thinkers who questioned without fear.
Europe’s power was never conquest —
it was curiosity.
Let it be so again.
#Europe #EU #Rethinking #Future #QuoVadis
Europe’s strength has never been empire, but imagination.
If we remember the thinkers and poets who taught us to question, to create, to reinvent—
we can still lead, not by dominion, but by example.

And how do we prevent the fascists from hammering people into fake news and lies that they have to choose them?
They own the distribution media!
Fortunately, not all of them!
But how do we agree with those who are against it? What strategy?
I am in favour of #Rethinking !!#SystemChange radical!
foggy, grey sky, sea with small waves, a seagull gliding through the air. This image is from Tuesday. Today, me and the dog didn’t make it to the sea, but I guess it looks pretty much like this.
A grey day offers room for thinking. And thinking, exploring with our own minds, is needed because true change starts in the mind, in every single mind.
Time to store away the parrot, spruce up the thinker, and use the grey sky as canvas for rethinking our world.

‘Let me connect some of our dots. We spoke of the divides between people as a potential root cause of war — not just the divides between genders but also between people of different ages, abilities, origins and more, and not least between those who assume a role of dominance and those who suffer the dominant. These divides are partly created by the narratives of the strong and the weak, the predator and the prey, the superior and the subordinate, narratives which are deeply ingrained in our minds. These narratives tell us that dominance is a natural imperative which every creature of worth seeks. But taking a closer look at nature offers another perspective and one that is more promising because it shows that, for example, the lion doesn’t kill for dominance but for sustenance and as part of its role in the ecosystem, and with that the lion contributes to the overall balance in nature — not to some gamble for power.’ We smiled, some of us scribbling notes, and one of us said: ‘But why did we start seeking dominance in the first place? What was the lure?’ ‘The promise of more gold?’ One of us chuckled. ‘You’re saying we were blinded by some shiny metal and had to get more of it? And we figured that the best way to get more gold would be to put ourselves in a position of dominance?’ ‘Sounds about right.’ ‘Maybe it was love that started it all.’ ‘What?’ several of us exclaimed.
Think about it: You love your partner and you want to show your love, so you bring them the sweetest strawberries, the fattest fish, the most beautiful flowers. And since you want to give them the best of the best, you begin to accumulate riches for your love. Think about the people who built whole palaces for their partners. And since we tend to be blind when we are in love, we might have lost sight of everything and everyone around us — until we had become greedy exploiters who no longer knew why they had started hoarding riches in the first place.’ Several of us smiled and one of us said: ‘If love got us into our mess, love can get us out of it, too: the love for human ingenuity, the love for human’s humour and their ability to dance, the love for the adrenaline rush we experience when we create or cheer together.’ ‘And we can carve new ways to show our love.’ One of us chuckled. ‘If winning the heart of another is all we ultimately want, we can easily do so without destroying each other’s nations and the planet just to hoard riches which might impress someone.’ ‘And maybe we can evolve into beings who are less impressed by shiny things. I for one take the sweet strawberries over a metal any day.’ Two of us exchanged a smile, another one of us chuckled, and one of us rolled their eyes, saying: ‘Let’s return to the original gold argument. We can easily demonstrate that there is enough gold on our planet to pave every road with it. All we have to do is come together, extract together, and then design our settlements the way we envision them.’ ‘You’re right. There’s no need to fight over something like gold. There is no need to be the richest or the strongest. In fact, we can provide much better for all of us, love or no love, if we cooperate. I wonder, is it our lack of imagination or simply
insecurity or even impatience which made us choose the path of dominance?’ Some of us shrugged and one of us said: ‘The lack of thinking. If our ancestors had thought it through, they would have discovered the benefits of coming together instead of dominating, exploiting and fighting.’ ‘Maybe religious thoughts kept them from thinking beyond the believes of our ancestors.’ ‘Possible. Religions with their absolutes don’t invite thinking. They divide us and create a sense of superiority.’ One of us gasped. ‘Bloody rivers of my veins, I just realised that nature doesn’t know the concept of the divine or of worship — unless you want to count the wolf’s howling at the moon.’ ‘That’s an interesting thought!’ another one of us exclaimed. ‘Nature doesn’t have a concept of the divine. The natural world doesn’t have morals. It doesn’t comply with our ideas of right or wrong. Maybe that’s what annoyed the clergy, and that’s why they alienated us from nature and from our bodies.’ ‘Nature doesn’t have a book of rules nor an almighty god—’ ‘—but why not? It seems such an important feature to humans.’ ‘Because that’s not the way to achieve balance? According to their books, gods want things to be in a certain way. Gods don’t want to evolve or move in cycles. With gods you have all the weight on one side of the scale — on God’s side, eternally stuck in one story.’
RETHINKING WHAT MONEY IS FOR
‘If winning the heart of another is all we ultimately want, we can easily do so without destroying each other’s nations and the planet just to hoard riches which might impress someone.’

FOCUS
When we hear the word focus, we often associate it with standing still, with fixing our eyes or mind on something. Focus doesn’t have to be static, it can and in many cases should be dynamic.
