The solution to the ills of #Capitalism is not Socialism The solution to the ills of #Socialism is not Capitalism The solution is the application of #WellbeingPolitics & #WellbeingEconomics without ideological prejudice to build #sustainable #diversityrich #qualityoflifeforall
Dorian Furlonger@qolfabook

One day a political party will redefine its purpose & principles in a way that reshapes politics. How? By looking beyond ideological perspectives to define itself in terms of delivering sustainable quality of life for everyone on an open knowledge basis. amazon.co.uk/dp/B07NGDQM4J/…

As long as we allow the concept of 'Might makes Right' to override meaningful mutual wellbeing governance systems, humanity will be the play ground of Dark Triad mindsets to the detriment of all of humanity and all life... #politics

#paradigmshift are we really on the way to a multipolar world w/ USA/Russia/China as the main poles? all of these three have massive internal issues and try to solve them by distractions through violence(China not yet but on the brink). ...

We ask about whether there is a level of artifical intelligence with consciousness. Should we perhaps spend more time and thought reflecting on our own level of consciousness and how we do and don't engage with it? #consciousness

#paradigmshift most humans are simplistic robots who(which?)think and move pretty much the same every day. no thought abt stopping and reflecting ones own life! that‘s what makes it easy for autocrats to convince them into obedience! #GetRealNOW #questionthestory

mainstream economics ... has become “unmoored from its proper basis, which is the study of human welfare.” #Economics #WellbeingEconomics #Politics #WellbeingPolitics

What if we replaced all taxes with 'Charges for Societal Infrastructure's contribution to Wealth Creation', paid to reflect the wealth benefit gained above a minimum? So the more persons gain wealth from reliance on physical & social infrastructure, the more they pay? #Economics
Foreign Affairs@ForeignAffairs

“Democratic countries tend to be high-tax countries, because taxation and democracy reinforce each other,” writes Vanessa Williamson. Meanwhile, tyrants “avoid imposing taxes because they fear the obligations that come with any reliance on tax revenue.” fam.ag/4t76NsL

I would not accept this wholly uncritically without first hearing other viewpoints as well, BUT, there is a long history of #Democracy as a method of governance being usurped by those with their own objectives and so the risks shown here👇deserve serious attention...

Beyond Oil... Hasn't the case to move towards locally sourced renewable energy just received a significant boost, not for environmental reasons but simply for economic and political ones? #Politics #Economics

Even if you are not engaged with the issues of climate change, this is perhaps a time to start thinking more about creating energy resilience? How? Well perhaps with the lowering costs of renewable energy, an answer might be to move more towards localised renewable energy?
International Energy Agency@IEA

IEA Member countries agreed last week to make available 400 million barrels of oil from their emergency reserves amid market disruptions from the Middle East conflict. This is the 6th oil stock release – and the largest – in the IEA's history. More 👉 iea.li/4ugyq3Q

How many systems and technologies do we accept, participate in, use and habitualise (and thus become emotionally committed to) in the hope & belief that they will serve us, only to find that we end up serving them?

Is it fair to say that the less people see themselves as a part of humanity, life & the environment and the more they see themselves apart from other people, life and existence, the more likely it is they are to adopt inhumane, exploitative & extractive thinking and behaviours?
