Replacing homo economicus with what we now understand about the human species radically transforms all the frames for understanding cultural evolution. A frame of collaborative niche construction allows human potential to contribute to rather than extract from the living planet.

"One of the things that we have discovered is that human beings have a psychological need to be cared for, but they have an even greater psychological need to care for others, or to care for something. If you don’t have that you basically fall apart." – David Graeber

I have embarked on another book distillation project, to highlight the key element that holds together humanity, which has been systematically eroded in Westernised societies: the role of trustworthy, sacred relationships within the context of human scale ecologies of care.

There is no shortage of small human scale initiatives that re-conceptualise human societies in comprehensible, compassionate, and life affirming ways. Collectively we can tap into a wealth of knowledge and timeless indigenous wisdom.

Human civilisation must stop growing and in fact enter a long, sustained and protracted contraction. Very few humans have realised the existential urgency of this, and only a fraction of those are brave enough to talk about this publicly. Because when they do, they face the Big

You're not autistic. And if you are, you have to prove it. And if you can, you're privileged. And if you can't, you're stealing from worthier individuals. And if you're not, you're incompetent and you automatically lose this argument. And if you don't, you're bullying me.
