If we're going to pull together as a country, we need to get back to our rituals, writes Daze Aghaji As we go into this highly ritualised Easter weekend, let's pay attention to how we're coming together, and how we connect with that something bigger... absurdintelligence.com/belonging-in-f…

What if we gave away our work for free? Would it make a difference to the world we live in? This isn't about people labouring for others (exploitative internships, freelancers asked to work gratis). This is about a sense of what's needed in the world absurdintelligence.com/work-for-free/

Context needs to survive, or we won't. But in their hoarding of wealth & power, the super-rich & their political elites set out to destroy context, and destroy us. Democracy dies with no context. So what can we do about it? My new post, please read + share substack.com/home/post/p-16…

My friend Alex Lockwood who I work with at Absurd Intelligence has put our thoughts about narrative theory down on paper to share. In short: stories work, but only if they get people doing stuff differently. Pls read and RT. absurdintelligence.com/narratives-nee…

I know I sound like a broken record, but it's impossible to reconcile what world leaders said at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, with the situation now, where it has got immeasurably worse, and they have done nothing. It's impossible, not, to conclude they were lying. 1/🧵

Most of us don't think much about why we're here. We've abandoned institutions that help us have those conversations about what being means. In the midst of a crisis that's existential AND exponential, to me it's catastrophic not to talk about why we are: clarejfarrell.substack.com/p/exponential-…

As friends of mine continue to get locked up for nonviolent resistance for fighting climate disaster, I think it's our job to educate ourselves on nonviolence & violence. There's no better place to begin than Hannah Arendt. My thoughts. Please share! Tx open.substack.com/pub/clarejfarr…

It took time to think about Vance’s Munich ‘retreat of free speech’ gig, but going via Timothy Snyder, Hannah Arendt and others I’m convinced that the imbalance of freedom can be rebalanced with the ‘right to be listened to’. Please share, thanks loves! x substack.com/home/post/p-16…
