If baboons can change their society so can we. youtu.be/4Q-bB-qywJ0?...

My dinner companion this evening I hope they enjoyed their dinner as much as I did

Good morning 😊

This video explains neoliberalism, why it’s dying and what might come next. We need governance that cares about people and cares about creating opportunities that create real value. youtube.com/watch?v=AMTQ...

Choose love

When wealth is built by manipulation of markets rather than the development of value the system fails. New systems will arise that are grounded in building real value based on authenticity. We don’t have to defeat old systems we just need to shift our focus to something better.

Change is about shifting focus. When the focus shifts nothing stops it.

We only win in community

We need to stop playing for pawns and start playing for kings.

Habitat doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Your contribution can be as simple as providing opportunity, connection, and joy. We are observers of the beauty and joy of nature. We are nature. youtu.be/g02Ss3xgABc?...

Love this!

Kindness is the way forward

As a society we need to resist letting love, passion, purpose, and progress be turned into greed. We need to turn love, passion, purpose, and progress into shared abundance.

Kindness is cheap, it creates opportunity, it builds communities Cruelty is expensive, it stifles opportunities, it destroys communities Kindness beats cruelty both economically, and socially Vote for and promote kindness every opportunity you get Kindness will always win in the end

Kindness builds wealth and connection. Fear destroys societies and love builds societies. Love is brave. Love is who you are.

Humanities biggest weakness is we let prejudice get in the way of progress, wealth, and abundance.

Light does not fear darkness. Light destroys the darkness. Light is truth. Light is joy. Light is hope. Light is love. The more our society embraces light the more we are all able to thrive.

Please read my reflection on the Second Tower Principle. US democracy and the international rules based order is disintegrating.. Like folks in the second tower, some see the danger and refuse to sit still. Others assure us life will go back to normal. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-second...

Love is bold, it out lives suffering, it creates community, hope and opportunity, it is light. Fear is timid, it divides, it isolates, it is lonely, it protects itself from the world, it hides in the darkness. Love is the light that drives out the fear, the darkness. Be the light.

Endless growth is cancer. This is the new metric for economic success. We need to learn how to make our economies thrive without endless growth and in balance with human and environmental needs. This shift has already begun. youtu.be/Rhcrbcg8HBw?...

Love this! We are nothing without each other.

Capital doesn’t create wealth People do

When it’s hard to find hope, it’s easy to find fear. When faced with fear cultivate gratitude, be creative, look for solutions, build relationships. Hope is a network that underlies everything, find it and share it and the network will grow.

Governments who understand that people are the economy and build social and physical infrastructure that supports that fact will thrive. There has never been so much unrealized human potential. youtu.be/th3KE_H27bs?...

“the kindest person in the room is often the smartest.” JB Pritzker is a mensch.

Fascist governments can’t function without people working in it. Don’t give them your labour at any price. Starve them. Erode their power to nothing. Then build something that works for you.

When we can change our society from taking, hoarding, coveting to giving, contributing, sharing we will be able overcome our biggest challenges.

Technology should enhance our human experience not stifle it.

Something better is coming. The mess we’re in now is an inflection point. How we choose to meet this moment will determine how painful the change is.

Just a little snack

Just a reminder

Wealth is always created in communities.Individual wealth is a myth,not that individual wealth shouldn’t exist,but w/out community individual wealth cannot exist.Achieving a balance of incentive to create wealth and the infrastructure to support community is the key to developing long term stability

The future economic structures will be collaborative, cooperative, and community based by necessity. Wealth is built in communities by communities. The economic and environmental realities that our society is facing can only be met and overcome together. youtu.be/sfCmc9GOYik?...

Well worth the time to watch

It is imperative that we listen to those who have gone through what we are experiencing now in the US, in order to forge our path forward. #oligarchy

Fostering curiosity pays dividends

Having the wealthy pay fair taxes isn’t theft it’s expecting the wealthy to be good citizens, just like everyone else.
