Climate Change solutions using Leverage Points, from low leverage to very high leverage. From easiest to implement to hardest. (Very basic stuff, Climate Change is way more complex than I can fit in a journal, this is just practice.) Changing the Parameters and Material Conditions. 12. Putting up defenses like walls against flooding, inventing technology to prevent damage to infrastructure, preventing forest fires. Creating a carbon tax. Doing protests in the street (Extinction Rebellion, Greta Thunberg.) 11. - 10. - 9. - 8. - Decreasing Positive Feedback Loops 7. Slowing down the Albedo Effect. Planting new forests. Changing Information Flows 6. Climate education in school, more corporate transparency. Regulations on anti-climate science propaganda. Putting responsibility on the big corporations instead of the consumers. Making Science more marketable and accessible to more people. Changing the Rules 5. Climate regulations, laws and punishments for big corporations. Making government oil lobbying illegal, making fossil fuel illegal, regulating deforestation. Replacing dirty energy with Green energy and new technology. Think Paris Agreement. 4. - Changing the Goal of the System 3. Sustainable living and survival of the species instead of eternal economic growth. Changing the paradigm 2. Sustainable living, seeing earth as a whole, learning to love nature, stabilizing economic growth. Seeing Green energy as viable and something to make money on. 1. -

Omg they shed tears together, so beautiful, Curt is deep, man.

A paper on how to create systems change, 21 pages, short and easy read, might need to know some jargon. http://www.donellameadows.org/wp-content/userfiles/Leverage_Points.pdf

Meh, its useful for me right now, its just a model, it will wither away when it needs to.

This is very interesting, I have been thinking about this lately too, you might be politically Stage Green but not Woo woo Green, I think those are two different camps, I wouldnt say youre not Stage Green just because youre not some New Age hippie, so yeah, some nuance and discernment is required there. For example Noam Chomsky is very Green but hes not some wacky, tea leaf reading, yoga pants wearing reiki practioner.

Ah, shoot, Im Swedish, so close...

I havent really found a book on Systems that I'm willing to buy yet, I am looking into some stuff by Fritjof Capra and Peter Senge but I would rather read papers and watch lectures for now.

Listen and take notes, otherwise its gonna go over your head. @itachi uchiha

I read about half of Thinking In Systems: A Primer, but I learned systems thinking through an online course instead because I thought it was easier. Her book was a bit too abstract and meta and didnt have enough examples and implementations for me personally.

The Gifts Of Imperfection - Brene Brown might be something to look into

http://www.donellameadows.org/wp-content/userfiles/Leverage_Points.pdf A very short paper on how to change systems using the 12 Leverage Points, by Donella Meadows. Very interesting stuff if you are interested in social change. Notice how different it is from the Green protest/revolution values.

I experience alot of synchronicities, they are definitely real, but theyre not really falsifiable, so I dont really know why they happen, but they do give me a good mindfuck and a sense of awe, makes life more enjoyable.

God, I love this forum, people sticking cocoa up their ass.

God is literally making himself illegal.

Meh, well probably invent some technology that stalls climate change for 100 years like artificially cooling the planet with solar geoengineering. Its the best we can do until the boomer oil tycoons who caused this die out and we become more Stage Green as a whole.

Very very similar to "Life Goes In Phases" but more broad, you can apply to alot of things. Very interesting to use this to think about the future of the US.

Was just about to write this. Ridiculous drug policies here. Leo: I just discovered a crazy new unknown psychedelic! Government: Nope, we discovered it first.

This will be my first real foray into the psychedelic world, I plan to work my way up from 1 gram (dried obviously) to maybe 3 or 4 grams and do around 5 trips over about year or more. I had a traumatic experience with weed when I was around 17 so Im stepping into this carefully, although I know shrooms are nothing like weed. I know I'm fairly prepared for this , I've been researching all kinds of psychoactive chemicals as a hobby for about 10 years. I will be doing them alone because people make me self-conscious and I prefer my own company (Introvert). Do you think 1 gram is enough to just ease me into this or should I go even as low as 0.5 grams?
