One of the most debilitating myths of our time is the assumption that inequality and ecological breakdown are artefacts of "human nature", and therefore inevitable, when in reality they are artefacts of capitalism and can be changed.

As human beings we essentially belong to the same family and we have to think of each other as part of ā€˜us’. To develop peace in the world, we have to educate people to understand that we are all the same in being human.

We have to wait and see to be sure, but this is promising news in the otherwise dark field of climate change. Certainly something to follow-up closely. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This is so upsetting... and the perfect example as to why ideology (in this case free-market neoliberalism) can turn educated people into idiots. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

ā€œThe future of this planet is now in the hands of American citizens,ā€ the climate scientist says. It’s up to us." Blunt but unfortunately realistic. theguardian.com/us-news/2020/o…

Well worth sharing considering current political polarisation in the US and across the planet. Old school can be good sometimes.

This is pretty astonishing. For the first time in its quarter-century history, the Crisis Group has turned its attention to risks of violence in the U.S. That's how bad things are. crisisgroup.org/united-states/…

Severe weather has rendered parts of Australia uninhabitable, properties will become uninsurable, and people will be priced out of their homes, leading climate scientists warn. abc.net.au/news/2020-11-1…

We share in this latest update what our Neighbourhood groups, our Food security, Housing security, Energy security, Health & Wellbeing, and Safety & Emergency teams have been working on. Heartening stuff for sure. :) resilientbyron.org/notic.../what-…

Thank you Joelle Gergis for always sharing your insights so honestly. I wish our societal conversations were underpinned by the same humanity and realism theguardian.com/australia-news…

In case you're interested in the topic, I'll be talking tomorrow about community resilience at a seminar organised by my colleagues at Southern Cross uni. eventbrite.com.au/e/sustainable-…

I was really touched when students who have started a podcast at @SCUonline offered me to be the first staff they wanted to interview. We discussed how climate change affects security on local and global levels and how to future-proof our communities. soundcloud.com/southerncrossu…

It's always a bit embarrassing to share stuff about yourself, but since many have asked me why I founded Resilient Byron, I thought this story sheds some light on it. scu.edu.au/engage/news/la…

Hey everyone, I was offered to give an inspirational talk about Community transformation in times of the Great Unravelling. In it, I argue that through practicing mindfulness and regeneration, we naturally become resilient. Feedback welcome! :) youtube.com/watch?v=MOkTYq…

I'm sure the French would love to be added to the Aukus security agreement between Australia, the UK and the US. Maybe it could even be called Faukus? This would likely be an accurate representation of how they feel right now. #Aukus #Auspol #auspol2021
