The patches no longer work
While being too busy making Europe, they forgot to make Europeans.The far-right landslide victory in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt is no longer a warning.

Mutually Assured Flourishing
What kind of human does Earth need? Answering the question cultivates soil for human flourishing within planetary boundaries.

Positive feedback loop trigger
Are personal lifestyle changes enough to hit the 1.5°C climate goal? Not on their own. It comes down to a simple formula: Here is how this social (relational) arithmetic breaks down: To reach the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming below 1.5°C, it takes individual effort to keep CO₂ emissions below 2.5 tonnes per … Sigue leyendo Positive feedback loop trigger
Just like breathing
These are just (some) soft skills. Yes, just like breathing. The conversation is inspired by the scepticism I sometimes encounter when talking about the benefits of working with Inner Development Guide (IDG). Since this scepticism often comes from the standpoint that only hard skills yield results, with soft skills excluded from the solutions, I tend … Sigue leyendo Just like breathing
