What do you do?
I challenge my perspectives, make connections between diverse ideas and think of how they can be applied for systemic change.
Why?
Because I have a short life, and there is no end to consumption and accumulation. How we understand 'modernity' and 'progress' needs a radical revision. I want to do what I can, now. 'Now, the second best of times.'
What should we read?
'Citizen, Experts, and the Environment' by Frank Fischer.
