There are none so blind than he who will not see….but it is essential to keep trying anyway. Professor, thank you for your work. We have great appreciation and respect for what you have been sharing here and on your Substack page. Your writing often brings to memory many of the concepts pointed out by David Korten in much of his writing and he has been at it more than thirty years. Different books, different words, yet it all feels to me that it points to the same very important thing…
”We will prosper in the pursuit of life, or we will perish in the pursuit of money. The choice is ours.”——David Korten
AI Overview notes “David Korten's work emphasizes a shift from prioritizing money and economic growth to prioritizing life, well-being, and the health of the planet. He argues that our current economic system, driven by the pursuit of money, is unsustainable and detrimental to both human society and the environment. Korten advocates for a "Living Earth Economy" where the focus is on serving life and creating a more equitable and sustainable world.”
We have never before been faced with the intentional dismantling of our democracy. So we watch in disbelief, with no experience to base effective reaction. Mainstream media continues to normalize each outrageous step, by offering measured political analysis in familiar rhetoric, rather than screaming of the underlying subversive intent. It has happened elsewhere and the unimaginable is now happening to us. Newspeak was introduced in the novel "1984". "Winning"
can now be added to the Newspeak vocabulary. So much winning we will get sick of it.
I’m Australian - thank the great goodness, but the all my adult life I’ve watched whole world recognising the manipulative dishonesty of scumbag big boy america. May this rogue nation implode under the impetus of its own trickery - it certainly has the appropriate leader to do its whanking off right now.
