There's an organisation I have joined that has this vision... It's called Deep Adaptation.... The view is that we have to adapt to the new climate. Here in Scandinavia the temperature already has raised more than two degrees celsius since pre-industrial times. All serious reports tell that we haven't done enough to stop climate change yet. And the atmosphere is already filled with so much greenhouse gases, that we have to go 3 million years back to see the same level - and then the sea level were more than 15 meters higher than today. (some say 800 000 years ago, though) That and millions of refugees is what we have to adapt too. So that will probably happen. It's too late.... If we don't go on living  that we do now because of the covid-19. Less traveling buy car and plane. Less production in fabrics and so on. Less people employed (will anyway happen because of new technology). Less consumption. Less far away produced food. Less meat Les

There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so, Hamlet says i the play. We are made of the universe, but also of stories. If many people will believe in a story it will be true for them. Even if it will mean that you kill other people or animals. But to work the stories must be corresponding to feelings. To make soldiers fight they have to demonize the enemies. Someone has to tell them that the enemies are bad. That its best to kill them. And there must be a reason for it; they are bad because.... What if we understand that it's just stories? Then, is Shakespeare right? Let' s see - if something is good there must be a bad behavior to compare it too. God and bad are interdependent. Let's say that we call it skilful or unskilful. Of course also interdependent. But also interdependent of the culture around and what century. What is good and bad changes. Buddha is said to have eaten meet, Today in most Buddhist monasteries that is unskilful. Nowa
