“The concept of progress is at the heart of humanity’s story. From the present, it is possible to imagine a future of abundance in which our great challenges have been addressed by the unique human ability to modify the universe toward our own ends. Many believe that we will attain this future through a combination of expanding human knowledge and advanced technologies.

Imagine that at the same time, other movements also begin to promote the ***removal of money from politics, the legal internalization of externalities, the creation of systems of corporate transparency and accountability, enhanced oversight of industry, upgraded regulatory practices, restricted lobbying and campaign finance, and the enactment of Extended Producer Responsibility laws

At the heart of a more sophisticated understanding of progress must be a humble awareness of the interconnectedness not only of the natural world, but increasingly of the global civilization on which our way of life now depends.

how we gather in a space is huge.. need to try spaces of permission where people have nothing to prove to facil curiosity over decision making.. because the finite set of choices of decision making is unmooring us.. keeping us from us.. ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition
