Somebody sent a link to a YouTube video of Paul Hawken\u2019s talk at the bioneers conference.\u00a0 He\u2019s talking about the \u201cbiggest movement in the world and how no one saw it coming.\u201d \u201cIt is non-violent, grassroots, it has no central ideology, a male vertebrate is not in charge…\u00a0 No one started it, no one is in charge of it, there is no orthodoxy. It is classless, global, unquenchable, tireless…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Shared understanding arising spontaneously.\u00a0 There is no center, no one spokesperson.\u00a0 This is where salvation will be found …\u00a0 in diversity.\u00a0\u00a0 This movement is humanity’s immune response to resist and heal political disease, economic infection, ecological corruption, caused by ideologies.”<\/p>\n
Spent a lot of time on YouTube \u2014 watched the Paul Hawken video 4 times.\u00a0 I\u2019m realizing that Paul Hawken\u2019s description of the movement that\u2019s \u201cunder the radar, grassroots, no one is in charge, there is no orthodoxy\u201d would be terrifying to your standard control freak.\u00a0 My father would have been horrified \u2014 and I\u2019m sure all those other white males who are desperate to control \u201cthem\u201d, the \u201cgreat unwashed\u201d, \u201choi polloi\u201d, the dark, indigenous, out of control masses.\u00a0 But we are tireless and unquenchable, and we will win.\u00a0 Salvation is to be found in diversity.\u00a0 True for ecosystems, agriculture, and investment portfolios.\u00a0 True for democracies who want to be truly democratic.<\/p>\n
