And they published it at midnight on a Friday night in the hope that nobody noticed, which completely failed.
And having read it, I have to say it's very mild.
I think it completely underestimates quite a lot of the risks that we face.
And even then it's putting, for instance, in the UK, the risk of
not being able to feed ourselves as really high.
Our food security is rubbish because we rely on importing a lot of food with people that governments have done deals with to keep their governments happy.
So that says we need increased biodiversity in the UK.
We are one of the least biodiverse countries in Western Europe.
However, at a wider scale, we're looking globally at total water contamination and we need globally to have clean water or we're not going to make it through.
And it seems to me that what people can begin to do is to follow the model.
We happen to have critical chaos because we have companies who are being incentivized to dump sewage into the rivers because all that matters is that they pay money to their shareholders.
But all around the world,
the rivers are foul.
And so we have a model in the UK of citizen scientists getting together in sociocracy-formed groups to analyse the water and then have an open-source publication of the results and then amplify that to the point where you become so politically difficult that they actually have to do something.
And that then can ripple up.
But it seems to me that we also could do with...
well, we need total systemic change.
And how do we get to that?
And I was reading Jamie Driscoll this morning who, for people outside the UK, he was elected mayor in the northeast of England as a Labour mayor until Stormer got in.
And then when it came round for re-election, they wouldn't let him stand.
