@Enora Thank you so much for sharing this absolute gem! 🍁
This text brought together many important perspectives and will be useful to guide upcoming explorations of #solarpunk and #protopia #futures
“We should be optimistic not because we believe that our problems are smaller than we thought. We should be optimistic because we believe that our capacity to solve problems is greater than we thought.”

@cultofmany This is what I love about #solarpunk literature. It assumes we’ve gotten some things right and are starting to heal, rather than heading toward the #MadMax future or the distopia. #Protopia is how I’ve seen it tagged.
The Long Now Foundation just posted a beautiful talk by SC-fi futurists Becky Chambers and Annalee Newitz on Resisting Dystopia - a topic dear to my heart. Couldn't resist jumping on making an Active Transcript for it. I encourage everyone to listen to or read this one! #LongNow #Utopia #Dystopia #Protopia #Accessibility #Transcripts

Pillola rossa o pillola blu? Solarpunk o Black Mirror? Ce n’è di dualismi, nella fantascienza. Tra i due scenari futuri estremi, utopia e distopia, noi raccontiamo il terzo. Il nostro.

There seems to be a big emphasis here on making reformism seem to be the radical alternative. Is there a radical edge to #protopia or is that already to engage in utopian thinking (which seems like something not to do)? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/14/special-series/protopia-movement.html

@ayoub @zarasophos thanks for pointing me to this fascinating read. But why associate #solarpunk with #utopia? Wouldn’t #protopia be more apt? Have a look at this piece by Kevin Kelly https://kk.org/thetechnium/protopia/
In "How Art Can Fuel the Climate Fight" Darren Aronofsky said that #climate #storytelling requires an upbeat view.
"People are now very aware of the situation. That's an incredible step forward. Unfortunately, a lot of people are depressed and are only seeing a future filled with doom and gloom. So, as a #storyteller now, it's super important to turn to stories that are not about dystopia, but are about #protopia, and the possibility of the great things that can be."

Has #protopia been ruined as an approach to things (making things better than they are rather than utopia or bust). Seems like a good idea tho I worry that gradualists and people who are "alright now, Jack" will grab it in an Effective Altruism kind of way.
An overdue #introduction 👋 (thanks for the prompt when I switched instances @aussocialadmin )
My name is Scott and I live in Sydney (on Wangal Country in the Inner West). My pronouns are he / him.
I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta, even), and have lived in some great places around the world (Montreal, NYC, Vermont, rural Kenya). Being a Canadian man of a certain age, yes, I play hockey. Even in Australia.
I've been very (not extremely) online since the 90s. First it was rec.music.phish, then fark.com, then the Big Tech Socials.
I strive to behave with compassion and to be more kind than nice. But I also shitpost from time to time because internet.
I'm interested in lots of things and barely maintain a blurred boundary between personal and professional. See hashtags below or on my profile for a more specific list, but I think it's generally encompassed by the concept of #interbeing which I understand as being coined by Thich Nhat Hanh and drawn from Vietnamese and older Buddhist concepts.
