Compassion is radical realism.
When another’s suffering spills over, our task is not to punish but to help.

The Story That Should Not Have Been:

This was not how the human story was meant to end..
Not with melting glaciers and rising walls.
Not with billionaires escaping upward while the oceans crept in.
Not with the silence of forests drowned out by the hum of devices..

We began with bare feet and open hands,
curious, uncertain, staring into the dark with fire in our eyes..
We learned to grow, gather, and grieve.
We built homes, songs, and systems.
We touched the moon.

And then....we touched nothing.
Nothing real.
Just numbers on screens and dopamine loops,
algorithms tighter than the bonds between neighbours.

We called it progress.
We made gods of GDP and efficiency.
We grew the economy like it was a crop,
and burned the soil beneath it.

We built machines that outpaced our wisdom.
Tools without elders.
Profit without pause.
Comfort without community.

The Earth groaned,
and we handed out loyalty cards.
The sky cracked,
and we installed air-conditioning.
We did not adapt... we monetised the crisis.

Democracy?
We sold that, too.
Votes drowned in money.
Truth fragmented by code.
Fear rebranded as policy.
The strongmen did not seize power.
We gave it to them...for stability, for screens, for noise.

Inequality?
Designed, not accidental.
A system where five men own more than half the world.
While billions hustle for rent,
they own the future, the data, the air.

Let us not pretend everyone chose this.
Some resisted.
Some warned.
Many were silenced,
while the architects of collapse called it freedom
and moved their assets offshore.

And now...
the insects are gone.
The water is plastic.
The children are anxious,
and the gods are corporations.

So we ask..
Is this how it ends?
The great arc of human becoming..
from toolmakers to terraformers to a footnote in a geology textbook?

It did not have to be this way.
The warnings were clear.
The crossroads came again and again,
and still, we pressed the accelerator.

But even now..
if there is a fragment of clarity left,
if there is one ember unextinguished....
let it burn for this:

Not a return to what was,
but a return to what matters.
Not endless expansion,
but rooted kinship.
Not empire,
but ecosystem.
Not more,
but enough.

Let it be said that we stood at the edge...
saw clearly,
named the failure,
and turned.
Not to be saved..
but to begin again.

@futurebird I would be interested also! Some sci-fi, also non-fuction on some topics like social justice, climate action, #deepadaptation #regenerativeagriculture #solarpunk

Well, it’s almost 7:30 AM, I’m nauseated, so I’ve been doing some light reading.

And it appears that there are more people who also said “fuck it” to systems in play going on in the world right now and are also rolling with the punches while trying to build better ways of doing things. One of those people is English professor Jem Bendell. I’m not sure yet if I agree with everything he’s doing/believes in (but then again, do you ever?) because I’m still exploring and contemplating all that he has to say, but he did publish a fascinating piece on his site back in February 2024 about deep adaptation to climate crisis, massive social change, and collapse, and how sometimes saying fuck it and making a huge life change in light of all of that is the least risky option.

Given everything that’s going on politically here in the States, I think it’s well worth the read and to do some thinking about, even if you don’t agree with most or all of what he says.

Cool shit.
