  1. How do we dream our way to a different future when #AI is accelerating us toward the 6th mass extinction?

    Is there any hope amidst the narratives of inevitability and the despair they provoke?

  3. How do we encourage human flourishing? How do we make the thriving of all 8 billion of us & the More than Human World central to all that we are and do?

  5. How do we create healthy people, intimately enmeshed in a healthy biosphere so that, together, we can co-create routes to a healthy future?

    How do we create a future fit for purpose in which humanity flourishes in all possible senses?

    Our work is to inquire about what would a world that works for everyone look like?

  9. from #AccidentalGods:

    Clearly, the concept of a nation state as a geopolitical entity that claims legal monopoly on violence within certain borders is no longer fit for purpose.

    So how might we build something better - that *isn't* Trump annexing Greenland?

  10. So, @Eceni, get someone in your #AccidentalGods community set up an Accidental Gods #fediverse instance. If #Mastodon isn't the right format for it, try #Friendica. And tell all those "everyone you know who wants the continuation of complex life on Earth" to move off the #Billionaire owned, #Capitalism driven, controversy and click-bait focussed social media platforms and onto the one that belongs to all of us.

    Be the change you want to see in the world!

  18. On @Eceni's #AccidentalGods podcast this week, someone (I think it was @Eceni herself) described #Starmer's cabal as 'Stalinist'. I don't think this is right, but I think it's pretty close. I think they're more Leninist.The unprincipled pursuit of power at any price, the ruthless factionalism, the bad-faith negotiation, the mean-spirited opportunism are all very Bolshevik.

    Their enemies may fear them, but their friends should fear them more.

  20. @yogthos there was a very interesting moment in an interview last year by @Eceni in her #AccidentalGods podcast with a senior officer of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a charity mainly focussed on relieving poverty, in which the officer observed that the charity had its capital invested in #capitalist industry in order to spend the dividends on seeking to ameliorate the damage which the companies it invested in were doing.

    I suspect a lot of charities are like that.

  22. @Eceni's #AccidentalGods is not a podcast I often feel I need to listen to twice, but this is an episode I certainly do. Sophia Parker of Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Listen through – there were bits of it that really didn't speak to me, but there's nuggets of important insight.

  24. Really useful episode of #AccidentalGods from @Eceni which is really helping with my thinking about localising food production. Recommended.

    I'm wondering what bean I could most productively grow at field scale here in Scotland?

  26. @bethsawin sadly no fruit or veg here yet but have been listening to an #AccidentalGods podcast on Nature Spirituality where @Eceni and Ursula Goodenough talked about whether you feel a two-way, reciprocal relationship with nature. I am perhaps not that spiritual myself but had just come in from hanging up laundry in garden and taking a few pictures and feeling deep #Gratitude for all the flowers - they are so giving, just being there

  28. Anyone who doesn't listen to the #AccidentalGods podcast on a regular basis, I very strongly recommend it. I don't always agree with it, but it is always thought provoking.

  30. @whitepineswhisper @breadandcircuses We don't have the materials. We don't have the (clean) energy to process the materials. Even recycling materials to create a circular economy costs more energy than we can generate cleanly, in the thousand-year term. And we don't have a thousand years to spare.

    @Eceni's #AccidentalGods podcast was good on this, this week.

  32. @Eceni PS I subscribed to #AccidentalGods, have listened to the Nicola Peel & Chris Smaje episodes: both were great! Looking forward to this one... great title BTW!

  33. 4/5 Adding a second great podcast I listened to recently, @Eceni talking to Pooran Desai on #AccidentalGods. It resonates with so much above ⬆️ ; Pooran talking about modernity's damaging "excel sheet" outlook; about how we might be much closer to a global sytemic crisis due to #ClimateChange than we think - maybe even this year; but also, of course, about OnePlanet Living (and how #Transition might happen locally, bottom up, organically, not through a top-down plan)

  35. @ScotHomestead This is such a strange #ClimateDiary coincidence I have to share it with you. Unlike you, I've sadly spent hardly any time outside this week, as bogged down with marking. Just now, this was the last paragrap of my very last essay - on smallholders! Which reminded me of this #AccidentalGods podcast (all so good @Eceni) interview with Chris Smaje, author of Small Farm Futures, who was once (as I found out in here) an Anthropologist at Goldsmiths, like me 😊

  37. @simon_brooke hi Simon, i just want to thank you for sharing this here - i am a big fan of the #AccidentalGods podcasts but may well have missed this. I didn’t know anything about Chris Smaje, even though, it turns out, he was at my Goldsmiths department in the past!

    I thought you might enjoy a thread i did here a while back, not so much about small farm futures but small farms pasts and present increasing biodiversity:

    What happens if we stop playing games that laud violence and give us brief dopamine hits for acts of destruction, and instead create, play and share games that build regenerative futures that help to rewire our brains and give us a feel for how community works?
