My message to young people worldwide: Do not accept that what we have today is inevitable. Do not accept that you cannot transform things. If we want to change the world, we need to unite, mobilize, and fight for a better future for all. un.org/en/summit-of-the-futu… #OurCommonFuture

An Ecocentric Second Age of Enlightenment Five Tenets for a Livable Future The Age of Enlightenment, spanning the late 17th to the early 19th centuries, was a pivotal period in human history characterized by a profound transformation in thought, culture, and society. Intellectuals and philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, Voltaire, and John Locke championed reason, individualism, and empirical science, laying the groundwork for modern democratic societies, scientific advancements, and human rights. This era fostered a spirit of inquiry and skepticism, encouraging people to question established norms and authorities, ultimately leading to significant political and social revolutions, including the American and French Revolutions. However, despite the monumental changes achieved during the first Age of Enlightenment, contemporary society faces unprecedented challenges that the Enlightenment thinkers could scarcely have imagined. The industrial civilization that emerged from Enlightenment principles has led to environmental degradation, social inequalities, and a disconnect from the natural world. These issues compel us to reconsider the Enlightenment's legacy, integrating biocentrism, the rights of nature, bottom-up democratic self-organization, feminism, and a cooperative economy. This new Enlightenment would address the consequences of industrial civilization, offering a pathway towards a truly sustainable and just future for humanity and the planet. 1/2

"It’s time to reject pronatalist ideologies that treat women’s wombs as cogs in the growth machine. We need to get off the growth treadmill, get past population denialism, and work for a future that has both fewer human beings and less consumption." counterpunch.org/2024/06/04/…
