In the words of William Gibson “the future is here, it’s just unevenly distributed.” We may not be there yet as a species, but I see this exact transformation happening all around me in my community. My neighbours are talking openly about it and experiencing that crucible of almost unbearable pain that burns away the foolish lies of predatory capitalism. I, too, have my doubts about whether the transformation will happen fast enough or broadly enough to stave off the worst case scenarios of ecological collapse, but there a liberation that comes whether we get a second chance at living or not.
