“The psychology of the individual is reflected in the psychology of the nation. What the nation does is done also by the individual, and so long as the individual continues to do it, the nation will do likewise. The great problems of humanity were never yet solved by general laws, but only through the regeneration of the attitudes of individuals. If ever there was a time when self-reflection was the absolutely necessary and only right thing, it is now, in our present catastrophic epoch.” C.G. Jung.
“We live in almost overwhelming danger, at a peak of our apparent control. We react to the danger by attempting to take control, yet we still have to unlearn, as the price of survival, the inherent dominative mode.” Raymond Williams.
The oligarchs’ favorite lackey continues to flood the zone, sowing anger and confusion: hot air about invading Greenland and annexing Canada; imposing tariffs one day - cancelling them the next; and publicly speculating about a third term. Smoking mirrors designed to stop us from moving forward. The best answer? Start with ourselves. Keep our heads and focus on how best to respond to the ecological overshoot poly-crisis that threatens our lives.
That’s our goal at Radically Human. Creating something new, viable, and life-affirming, an opportunity to reflect on who we really are and what we’re doing on this planet. No question about it, we’re being severely tested; chaos and suffering are escalating worldwide. Nevertheless, working together we can maintain a strong sense of who we are and what we’re doing on this planet.
