Secrets and Hope in Our Mad World

Early in 2017 I read George Marshall’s book ‘Don’t Even Think About It: Why We are Wired Not to Think About Climate Change’ and I decided I would think about it. And I would read about it. Then I would write about it.

I write as a 'non-expert' and I'm hoping that your comments will help me to see whether the insights I've

gained make sense, whether the conclusions stack up and whether it's realistic for me to start feeling

hopeful about the future .

May 5th - I think I'm getting close ...


Having now got my head round exactly what  industrial capitalism involves, what it needs to grow and how it has evolved to spread into all corners of the world, I'm going to think about whether the needs of capitalism conflict with the needs of we humans and the needs of the rich diversity of plant and animal life with whom we share the planet.
Its beginning to look as if our problems stem from the fact that the needs of the economic/social/political system which has become widespread are in conflict with the needs of humanity and the planet. (That might be obvious to some people, but when I'm thinking about a problem I like to start at square one and work my way through it)
