But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind.

It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.

And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”

Insightful discussion by Ted Chiang of Large Language Models / ChatGPT as lossy compression of the Internet:

Find out who lives near you. What do you have in common, what do you need.

Try to get everyone together to meet each other. That's step one for our collective Liberation.

Find out what you can agree with, what the neighbourhood needs to improve, what you all can do.

And then, organise.

A community garden, a tool or toy library, a maker space, a composting station, a bike repair/donation hub.

Small, local initiatives that will build resilience and community.

This is how we survive.

The book made it seem way cooler.

Facts are facts.
