Love this inquiry “How does a civilization downsize gracefully? Or, What have we achieved that our distant descendants would like us to preserve for them?”

This was an incredible conference, I’m slowly making my way through the sessions. This thread explains why I have seen no press at all for such a momentous event.
Prof Julia Steinberger@JKSteinberger
As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯. 🧵, please RT. #BeyondGrowth2023 1/

@AnnasQuestions Oh, also To Speak For the Trees by Diana Beresford is wonderful

@AnnasQuestions Hi Anna. Glennie Kindred's books are wonderful. And Sharon Blackie's When Women Rose Rooted? Also Martin Shaw's School of Myth?

Looking for #readings on wisdoms from what might be #indigenous to my lineage of Scotland, Ireland - also England, Wales - thinking #Celtic, #pagan or anything else people can recommend?

@johnthackara @GeorgeMonbiot I agree about the choir and preaching language, but I did like the 'using our new knowledge of social tipping points to create the shift we want to see.' and that sense of just keeping on going and eventually we'll reach that tipping point. Using other methods than preaching...
English
@redfishnat The language of choirs and preaching doesn't work for me @GeorgeMonbiot. Climate scientists have been preaching for 40 years - and look where that got us. I'm also not ready to label those damaged & demeaned by the system as 'opponents': industrial workers, miners, small farmers.
English
This thread esp. nos 15-17 - “ We *should* preach to the choir, but keep expanding the choir, pushing out the concentric circles until we reach the 25% penetration of a new perspective or a new idea that triggers social tipping.”
George Monbiot@GeorgeMonbiot
15. So what do we do? Two things, I think. First, we spell out our theory of change. I’m pretty clear about what mine is: using our new knowledge of social tipping points to create the shift we want to see. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@robintransition Brilliant, so obvious, so powerful if they do it right. Let’s hope they start a trend.

@LilyPiachaud Is this enquiry still live for you Lily? I just found your original tweet in an open tab from back in July... it's something I'm very interested in, would love to chat if you have capacity.
English
I have very, very much enjoyed these conversations so far. Learning about alternative practices + ways of organising, from the minutiae to the big picture, has given me a lot of hope for the future 💫. If you're experimenting in this space and we haven't spoken, I'd love to chat
Lily Piachaud@LilyPiachaud
🧵Are you experimenting with new forms of organisation? Or building organisational systems and processes that replace traditional ways of doing things that are no longer fit for purpose? [1/8]

So despite a petition, a survey, and a majority vote showing that @theRSAorg staff would like to unionise with @iwgb, management are refusing voluntary recognition and insist we'd be better off with a staff representative group🙄Here’s why we want union recognition instead: a 🧵
