    1. China, however, can be expected to return fire. Already it has halted imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US for 40 days – a move attributed to trade tensions. This may seem like good news for emissions reduction. However, China, like all other nations, needs energy. With less gas from the US, it may resort to burning more coal – which generates more CO₂ when burnt than gas.

      for - adjacency - tariff - substitution - coal for LNG - higher carbon emissions

    2. supply of components and materials vital to the energy transition was disrupted.

      for - adjacency - economic slowdown - renewable energy - supply chain shortages

    3. The COVID experience provides a cautionary tale. The unstable economic outlook and higher interest rates meant banks were more cautious about financing some renewable energy projects. And according to the International Energy Agency, small to medium-sized businesses became more reluctant to invest in renewable energy applications such as heat pumps and solar panels.

      for - adjacency - economic slowdown - COVID - less investment in renewables

    4. nations focus on making goods where they have a competitive advantage – in other words, where they can manufacture the item more cheaply than other nations can. That includes making them using less energy, or creating fewer carbon emissions. If the US insists on manufacturing everything it needs domestically, we can expect many of those goods to be more emissions-intensive than if they were imported.

      for - adjacency - higher carbon emissions - made in US

    5. In the short-term, any decline is likely to have a positive impact on emissions reduction. We saw this effect during the COVID-19 pandemic, when global production and trade fell.

      for -adjacency - economic slowdown - carbon emissions - Trump tariffs

    6. The move has prompted fears of a global economic slowdown. This might seem like a positive for the climate, because greenhouse gas emissions are closely tied to economic growth. However, in the long term, the trade war is bad news for global efforts to cut emissions. It is likely to lead to more energy-intensive goods produced in the US, and dampen international investment in renewable energy projects.

      for - carbon emission impacts of Trump tariffs

    1. for - climate crisis - impacts of Trump tariffs - carbon emission impacts of Trump tariffs

      comment - I'm surprised that not one analyst has commented on the potential slowdown of a possible recession due to lower consumer activity due to the tariffs - Remember the significant lowering of carbon emissions during COVID? - Of course it wouldn't be durable and carbon emissions could rise after Trump and tariffs may no longer be in place but now is a good time to strategize how to decarbonize strategically

    3. why is it that Extinction Rebellion where predominantly young people and actually all older people are so concerned that they take to the street and lie down that that is met with violence why is that well I think because they they strike a nerve of something about the inaction of the political that that there needs to be police it needs to be taken off as illegitimate

    1. Particular expert-based claims about the climate future, for example, rely on an epistemic trust in numbers (Ezrahi, 1990; Porter, 1996) and computer models that solidified over decades (Edwards, 1996, 2010).

      for - climate futures - based on numbers - alienate a large percentage of the population - become ineffective

    2. climate futures imagined through climate modelling travel sequentially between the desks of expert communities and the IPCC, into the political sphere of the UNFCCC – leading to particular, often narrowly technocratized, imaginaries about possible climate futures (Oomen, 2019; Swyngedouw, 2011).

      for - example - imagined futures - failure of puersuasiveness of climate models

    3. material organization and access to anticipatory tools such as integrated assessment models also play an important part in the scripting and staging of futuring performances – as do the bodily competences of the practitioners.

      for - futuring - different strokes for different folks - quantitative presentations of climate futures is ineffective for an audience that cannot appreciate it - the choice of how to present the future is therefore critical to produce a desirable response

    4. Analysing how a ToF discursively presents the future, in what genre and using what narrative structure, helps to understand how it enables different audiences to engage with the future and in what ways this reinforces, consolidates or transforms an imaginative space of possibilities for action.

      for - futuring - different strokes for different folks

    5. Back-casting exercises that start from an imagined desirable future derive part of their imaginative authority from pre-existing notions of plausibility, but they may also draw from notions about the value of democratic participation.

      for - futures - backcasting

    6. Quantitative presentations of the future, such as most climate models, speak to what Porter (1996) calls a ‘trust in numbers’ and an assumption of ‘scientific rigor’ and rationality.

      for - futures - quantitative presentations

    7. This article, then, has three aims.

      for - futuring - paper - Techniques of futuring: On how imagined futures become socially performative - from - collective imagination toolkit https://hyp.is/i3N9KA_DEfCsXivEzv3w5A/www.collectiveimagination.tools/ - purpose of the paper - how images of the future gain performative traction - objectives: how images of the future gain performative traction: - present insights and weaknesses of leading social-theoretical futures work - fill some gaps by - imagining the future via - social practices - performance of reality // question- what does this mean?// - develop performative understanding of futuring via - dramaturgical analysis that investigates ow actors - actively bring the future into the present through performance of particular: - narratives - settings - configurations

      Summary - This is a very insightful paper on futuring and how activity in the present realizes imagined fictions, which don't yet exist, and bring them into being in our (future) present - One thing to note is that there is a huge swath of human activity not explicitly discussed which is intrinsically futuring, and that is the birth of any new idea in general, including scientific, mathematical and technological. - Human progress is the sum total of countless individual futuring projects that imagine some fictitious, nonexistent idea and work to incrementally bring it into existence.

    8. Practices mediate, curate, create and enact imaginations of possible futures in the same ways that they create our lived-in reality.

      for - key insight - practicing performative futuring

      summary - This a a paper that frames design and innovation, - among the most ubiquitous and important of all human activities - as a branch of futuring - Design and innovation bring something new into existence - That which is designed - is that which is imagined - is that which is not yet real - is that which is therefore a fiction - Innovation brings the fictional and imagined into reality through mobilizing and coordinating social behavior that realizes the imagined future. - This is especially critical as our species needs to rapidly imagine and bring about an aspirational future that mitigates our existential polycrisis

    10. Affective relationships with the future are performative because they provide actions in the present with meaning, especially when combined with expectations about (the effect of such actions on) the future.
    11. The Anthropology of the Future, there are at least six types of affective relationships with the future: anticipation, expectation, speculation, potentiality, hope and destiny – with utopias and dystopias as particularly powerful affective motivators (Moore, 1966; Sliwinski, 2016).

      for - book - The Anthropology of the Future - Bryant and Knight (2019) - affective relationships with the future - anticipation - expectation - speculation - potentiality - hope - destiny

    12. Affect regulates another aspect of the performative relationship between past, present and future. Where the performativity of expectations relies on credibility, on being believed and expected, affect relies on (a form of) emotive investment.

      for - adjacency - imagined futures - affect - performative - expectations - credibility - emotive investment

      adjacency - between - affect - imagined futures - performative - expectations - credibility - emotive investment - adjacency relationship - This sentence is a highly integral and convergent one that brings together many important adjacent ideas - Affect (emotions) is important because if we are emotionally invested in a story of an imagined future, it gives it credibility

    13. credibility provides a ‘prospective structure’ (van Lente & Rip, 1998) that shapes actors’ orientations for action (Beckert & Bronk, 2018; Hedgecoe & Martin, 2003; MacKenzie & Millo, 2003).

      for - credibility of imagined future - shapes actor's orientations for action

    14. the sociology of expectations

      for - sociology of expectations - provide structure and legitimation - attract interest and investment

    16. ‘the future is real in so far as social actors produce representations of the future which have an effect on others’ actions in the present’ (Tutton, 2017, p. 483)

What energy do I put into my work? - system is not concrete and fixed but fluid - fielding - bringing different human fields together - I can work with hatred and rage on the inside and transmute it so that I don't add to it on the outside

      JOHN: - stuck systems and lens of trauma can help us get unstock - 70% of people have experienced trauma - trauma is part of the human experience - people make up systems - so traumatized people makes traumatized systems - fight, flight and freeze happens at both levels - at system level, its fractally similiar - disembodied from wisdom - in state of survival and fear - fixing things - until we deal with the trauma in the people, we will continue to have traumatized systems - More work won't help if it's coming from traumatized people

      EDWIN - incremental change - something holding us back - built upon these traumas - Economic metrics are out of touch with how the trauma affects systems - Journey - awareness first, then understanding and inner transformation and finally change - Discussion with funders - most are still stuck in old paradigm of metrics, audits, etc - this comes with trauma because we have no trust on who is on the other side - a big part of the system is built on mistrust, creates more gaps between us - need to become anti-fragile

      ANNIKA - Funders have lack of trust because inner work hasn't been done on both sides - As a funder, we really try to create a space of trust - Think of the language we use to be inclusive - How do we make inner work a part of the operating system of how we work? - We looked at 500 mental health organizations over the years - It's so urgent now that we align our work

      EDWIN - We have a lot of half-formed thoughts - It's very complex and nobody has cracked it - We have a phrase at Axum that we move at the speed of trust - To do something different, they need to trust you - When I think of the discussions I've had with heads of states and CEOs, these meaningful inner ideas are not often brought up

      LAURA - When there's no trust, even if there is no danger, the trauma is still brought up - We need to shift our lens on trauma and become aware of when trauma emerges - quote - inner condition of the intervener determines the success of intervention - Bill O'Brien

      LOUISE - I work a lot with nervous system and body system - We need small changes in our nervous system - If I try to do something big, I can re-traumatize myself - We also have a collective nervous system - Restore love to all parts of your system first - Make friends with trees to seed actions from union

      JOHN - Become aware of my own trauma triggers - When we see an outsized reaction, we can guess that person is undergoing personal trauma - A settled body settles bodies - If we are calm, it helps calm others

      LAURA - Feel where we don't feel grounded, where we shame ourselves, feel compassion there

      QUESTIONS - See below

      • mushrooms and ayuahuasca - is it helpful?

      • A lot of women forget the feminine energy to climb the ladder and get sick?

      • backlash - feels like white men were being pushed to do work they weren't ready to do so now reclaiming their comfortable traumatized space

      • how early do we start to teach this knowledge?

      • How do organizations hold space for the enormous trauma that the US govt is manufacturing. We need to build this practice into organizations to help deal with the onslaight

      • Youth are so hungry for being in the presence of others who are wise, compassionate. We can't move faster than the speed of trust but it needs to become accessible.

      ANSWERS - See below

      LOUISE - Organizations have a huge role to play at this time - We want to reconfigure and transform the trauma - Deep forming teams in organizations to help transform - Trauma fields want to come through human nervous systems to transform - We are both feminine and masculine and the masculine wounding is very important and needs to find the feminine - We cannot go away by ourselves to heal from patriarchy, colonialism energies

      ANNIKA - In terms of how we fund, can we fund differently? We need to fund these spaces

      EDWIN - I sit on board of Wellbeing project - changemakers go through burnout - how do we prevent this and create a container that can sustain them? - Weve brought 20,000 people in summits who have affected 3 million people. Please come to the Hurts summit in Czec and Wellbeing project - When pendulum swings back from individual space, we should be like a spiral

      JOHN - In systems change spaces, trauma is seldom spoken of. - Systems work will not work if we ignore trauma - This is critical

    1. By sacred we mean unique, intrinsically worthy of respect and dignity, relational, life-giving and sustaining, and defiant of commodification.

      for - definition - sacred

      definition - sacred - While acceptable, I don't think this definition fails to sufficiently capture the essence of the word "sacred" for the purposes of the Deep Humanity praxis, where it plays a central role. - For Deep Humanity, we define the sacred as the intrinsic state of reality that is - a fundamental aspect of every aspect of phenomena and - transcends all attempts to describe it because it is intrinsic to all human aspects as well, including thought and language - is the source of all wonder and awe. - is the source of inspiration, creativity and healing - is intrinsic to every human and nonhuman living / dying being - is the nondual, unifying force between - individuals of our species - our entire species - and the rest of nature
