This was very much brought home to me this week while attempting to be a #virtualattendee
@anarchy2023
with little opportunity for #digitalcollaboration except via the same old #trologram shite & badly moderated feeds at best!

"Honestly, I do not believe we can change anything, anywhere or at anytime ever...if we continue to be so damn #tribal, #factional & #individualistic."

Time to stop this non-collectivist BS & apply some #directpositiveaction instead!

Currently reading Living Democracy by @timhollo Pulls back the curtain to reveal the influences and myths behind our current #individualistic anti-nature #neoliberal system.

Hunter-gatherer, #DemandSharing societies, in which there is no reason to hoard more than one currently needs, are highly #individualistic as well as #egalitarian.

Work: A Deep History, from the Stone Age to the Age of Robots by James Suzman

“Social #fitness …is the key to #mentalhealth, physical health & #longevity. Developing skills that enable one to cultivate & maintain #positive connections to other people is at least as important as proper #nutrition, physical #exercise 🏃🏻‍♀️ adequate #sleep 😴 & the avoidance of harmful habits such as smoking. Yet it is easy to take these #relationships for granted in today’s #individualistic & #hypercompetitive societies.”
