It’s time for a new story

 

Well, two new stories.

The truly important one needs to be authored by us, humanity, if we are to avoid ecological collapse on the planet we share.

This story is the new societal success story that, collectively, we must choose, because a ‘more-me-now’ game plan for a social species on a finitely-resourced ‘living’ planet must have an expiry date.

Worryingly (given the number and scale of our crises, and the near-universal awareness of them), societal change still seems impossible.

Promisingly, despite having pondered and analysed the (many) impediments for decades, I am yet to identify one that is insurmountable.

So, I am writing my own (simple, hopeful, practical) story to enable enough of us to get on the same page about humanity-level matters. Species stuff. Stuff we don’t think about, or have any mechanisms for beyond a few organisations and events, like the United Nations and the Olympic Games, respectively, that are universal in spirit, at least.

Almost universally, we are divided.

So, it’s time for a team talk.

It’s time for a new story.

…more to come.
