nika dubrovsky on a nother way

If in the 60s and 70s the trend was the hypothetical ‘Star Trek’ future and ‘soon we’ll live in communism,’ and in the 90s it was the ‘end of history,’ today the general trend is ‘apocalypse.’ Everyone interprets it differently: some plan to ascend to the heavens among the chosen, others dream of flying to Mars, some expose villains allegedly destroying life on Earth. But everyone agrees on one thing — the main word now is ‘doomsday.’ Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor are right in identifying this trend, but wrong in thinking that we can unite around canceling it. Extinction Rebellion already tried to do that — it didn’t work. *We need a new trend. David would have definitely come up with something. David’s followers keep saying ‘another world is possible,’ but that’s a weak message. It’s too vague to build anything concrete around it. For now, **with my project of building a Khrushchyovka in the Caribbean, I’m still operating within the mainstream. https://youtu.be/8HAeAHcCW14?si=2gzUEJKg-cW7mD7l

**dear nika: if we want to get to root of problem (aka: out of mainstream.. out of sea world.. – which we must – hari rat park law via bruce alexander et al)

legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do

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: imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)

the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness

[‘in an undisturbed ecosystem ..the individual left to its own devices.. serves the whole’ –dana meadows]

there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental exponential labeling) to facil the seeming chaos of a global detox leap/dance.. the unconditional part of left-to-own-devices ness.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it

ie: whatever for a year.. a legit sabbatical ish transition

______

findings from on the ground ness:

1\ undisturbed ecosystem (common\ing) can happen

2\ if we create a way to facil the seeming chaos of 8b legit free people
