Art of Climbing Trees

Greenprint Visualised / Conclusion

As Abraham (Maslow) observed in the Siksika^77a, we have numerous examples of humans setting a precedence of more harmonious living. So, Daniel⁰⁹ was right: humans are not innately the problem, and we only have to change one totalitarian culture; perhaps only elements of one culture that bring out the worst in us. (Our revolution should also be cautious of what we do away with in the frenzy of opportunity when power is equalised). Our culture is mesmerised by the short-lived power of money, and it reveres the economy, but it also loves science and justice. Beneath all our posing, we really love, love. 

When it becomes apparent to enough of us that our economy can no longer support our illusions, we’ll either choose rational logic that calls for ecologically conscious justice, or our polarisation will go deeper, and we’ll fight it out to the end. Listening to the science that attempts to interpret reality as it actually is, combined with love that wields the science with empathy, is a powerful recipe for Eutopia. A system that enflames our deepest fears is an equally potent recipe for a miserable dead-end dystopia.

When Margret Thatcher freed the markets, she famously said, ‘There is no alternative’ (TINA). The antithesis to her lie is TABOO = There are Billions of Options. Neither is true, as the crisis removes our room to manoeuvre. This beta version of the Greenprint is one option of many, but ultimately, we only have two choices, or really, the planet is giving us an ultimatum: choose to live or choose for our species to die out amongst an avalanche of extinctions. If we choose to live, do we want totalitarianism or relative freedom and egalitarian co-operation? 

If we choose life and do our transition well, it can be full of joy, connection, and adventure¹⁷⁷, as well as the inevitable difficulties, because birth itself – the unavoidable beginning for each of us is a difficult and surreal journey¹²⁷, and birthing a healthy civilisation will be the mother of all deliveries. Before we’re born, we have no idea of the possibilities beyond the blood-red walls of our world…

Please try using the (efficient) ‘Six Thinking Hats’ method of parallel thinking for sharing your ideas.
It helps us to organise our thoughts and feelings. Wear the Black Hat for critisism/doubts; the Green hat for creative suggestions; the Yellow for positive responses, Red for gut feelings; White for information. I am wearing the Blue Hat now, when I say we are here to design Eutopia.

Simply write ‘Black’, ‘Yellow’, ‘Green’, etc, before your given response. Then, start a new paragraph for ideas of a different coloured hat.
