Open Question July 22: What's worth fighting to keep, and what should we let go?
Hey y'all, Wars, trillionaires, and AI everything... we're all wrestling with wild change, making decisions to try to hold on, let go, or something else. So this week: What's worth fighting to keep, and what should we let go? Privacy. Reading. Offices. Cash.... - Olympianmk...
Do what Olympians Do
As an Olympian I know that mindset is key to which awesome athlete wins. Im concerned that most people are stuck in fear and anxiety about our collective future. We need to know and address the challenges, but keep focused on our collective desire for peace.... - Redelman...
Visionaries and Evolutionary Scouts
If we are truly entering a period of developmental and evolutionary transition, how do such transitions become visible in the first place? Who notices them first?... reminds me of the famous quote "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." (Margaret Mead?... - So8res...
I think that would definitely help! I think it'd both help make it much easier for our leaders to notice that their very lives are in danger, and help put pressure on them to change the situation.... - KC...

Creativity during Collapse
I’m just on UpTrust this moment. Hello. What I’m discussing on the daily is how art and creativity may be useful during times of societal splintering and collapse. How can it be used to rally people, to coalesce on causes through imagery or form?... - onThe concept of this app sounds promising. Do you think the internet can be a place for deep and meaningful conversations in this day and age?by
There is hope for change. It won't be overnight but there is hope. The internet is plagued with Hedon's and self-sabotaging trends, however, there will always be pushback to that kind of culture.... I think you're onto something—that this would make a difference. I also think this could help harness collective intelligence to focus on where we can change things, which we dearly need.... Yeah and I personally wouldn’t vote for it; I’d rather have change that occurs more gracefully from the inside out, but most of the time I don’t get to have that choice, but I do get the choice to see the in-my-face contrast as inspiration, or at least reinterpret it that way,... - Shera JoyCry...
Curious of any opinions thoughts on the chat gpt version of this post: I want to see more change-makers—those deeply engaged in addressing the world’s issues, people who identify wrongs and dedicate their time and resources to making them right....
