The many facets of economic injustice, but particularly our campaign finance system, because it is hugely systemically contributing to our legislative bodies’ dysfunction & iniquities, including those below, & is therefore our most urgent need, in my personal opinion;
Global warming / climate change is an ultimatum the Universe has dealt us; it is our most important, long-term problem; & our one & only choice is many years of constant, intense, coherent, laser-like world-focus on solving & fixing the necessary causes etc. It is right to be identified as our most important concern, the greatest danger we face, & the most important thing we can talk about, among other gravid, imposing features.
Many very different facets of society will be involved; personally i am too under the weather, right now, to sketch the sum societal interrelationships this Atlas-like task will require . . .
I did offer this the other day, tho, which was my scratching of the surface:
‘from thought, learning, & planning to international directives/motions, reviews, betterment, to learning what works & being the change we seek ourselves, locally,’
Luckily, there are many, many, many good people — more every day — working on this, from the regnants of thought to the people practicing being the change that they seek in the very earth of the Earth.
I believe we shall overcome someday.
Last in this list, but of massive, grave importance still — given that these projections seem credible — antibiotic overuse endangers about 30 Holocausts worth of people with death over the next 35 years, without the proper things done in time; it endangers more with disability. suffering, & other grievances, too, it stands to reason.
The danger comes from cultivating antibiotic-resistant diseases thru their overuse in agriculture & human medicine.
It is both a very intense, & too: urgent danger for us globally, one which we must stare down where it is worst, where we must, & find the sources of this problem, reaching back as far back into the chain of causes as we must, & upend this problem at its root – because it endangers 300 million people over the next 35 years, if we do not.
Circumventing campaign finance misjudgments, climate change & antibiotic overuse are essential for the habitability of our planet, survival of an estimated 300 million people over the next 35 years, & these important political issues & others, we shall overcome, someday =)
Thank You, We Can & We Will.
