"I think this insight has massive implications for social change: it means we need to shift our focus from what currently is, to showing what could be. From raising awareness to changing awareness. We need to tells stories that not only show that change is possible, but make that change feel familiar and real - so that we can feel it on a sensory level: taste, touch, hear and smell!" You assume the future you want is the same future everyone else wants, the same old failing of middle class liberalism.
Glad that resonated Chris! I made sense in my head but was not sure it would to others - one of those things you feel is very important but you fear your words wont do justice to!
Excellent post.
I've been struggling with how to communicate my message:
Yes, we are facing huge challenges. But we are also present to unprecedented opportunities for creating a better world.
And the magical thing?
The solutions to our biggest, most pressing global problems ARE those very opportunities for building something better.
I'm open to any and all thoughts for how to effectively communicate this.
Thanks!
