the question of: What To Do
It’s pretty profound, a turning point after five millennia of misguided civilizational trajectories.
The turning point started during the 20th century.
Some people feel it. I think they tend to feel it more than “know” it.
In either case, they wonder: What To Do.

My experience is that there’s a lot of “gathering” online, networks of “interesteds” spanning the globe.
And they engage in a lot of patter:
“regenerative”
“decolonial”
“prosocial”
“bioregional”
“relational”
“calls from the landscape”
“in service to the Earth”
Zoom meetings are long on expression, “story-telling” … short on “deliverables.” And the result is an overall dearth of tangible accomplishments.
People come and go. Always needing money.

I’m sympathetic. At a profound turning point it’s hard to know What To Do.
Well, I think: The best thing to do is look around and notice exemplary already-extant initiatives. Take them as a model. Maybe you have to modify as per local characteristics. But have in mind the Tangible Existing as a guidepost.
Visit them. Or dive deep via their web sites. But you don’t have to flounder around feeling as if you have to invent something new, something idealistic, something ideal.
