outlining the need for a radical transformation of the world economy, and the steps we can take to bring that transformation about.
Stewart based his argumentation on 5 PRINCIPALS and HOW to achieve these. Find the main idea of the principals in the linked doc and find the HOW here.There is a lot more to enjoy from his speech, so it is very worth watching the whole video.
The HOW!
Lets dream a bit...
Dreams are vital, because that is what we turn into reality later.
To pull together the brilliant idea work that many people are doing, to aggregate this ideas and to amplify them, put them across to tell the story in compelling and exciting way, that people make to say: YEAH I want to change.
We (us collectively) need to accompany that with campaigning, good research, lobbing, a space to grow the work of tellers, transition town movement, nef, partnerships...
What we got to do is bringing this together and tell a compelling tale with a new language. ...Simple and not misleading
acupuncture campaigning - focus on where acupuncture intervention could shift the system
Movement for change – transition everywhere
Business in transition (arts, education, universities, societies)
- Business would not and can not change without either people buying differently or governments changing the roles of the game.
- Governments would not change the roles of the game without people demanding they do.
Without serious people pressure we can write all the reports, bring the research and do all the lobbing but it would not bring change.
People ignoring the evidence that is in front of their eyes, they are still saying the sun is going around the earth... we know differently and we need a lot more people to know differently!
If not us...who, If not now.... when?
