OK, let's assume that we manage to raise the money to produce (hardware + software) an infokiosk that will provide public and free access to scientific knowledge about the All-Crisis and grassroots suggestions on how to respond to it.
What functions should such an infokiosk have, standing, for example, somewhere in a shopping mall or in a railway station waiting room?
Please feel free to brainstorm - we throw in any crazy suggestions you like, other people's we don't judge, but we are inspired by them.

Indeed, capitalism has wrought its own demise and given us the chance to undertake the construction of a new society on the ruins of the old one. It is we who have built the world that the capitalists and their servants have appropriated. It is we who will build the next one – from the remains of the previous one. As we are not afraid of ruins.

Now that we are building a new community, and when we have less and less timespace left for doing stupid things, I invite you – Dear Reader – to talk about decent means leading to decent ends, which TePeWu is now setting for itself.
As we free ourselves from the pervasive state-capitalist culture and from the reactivity trap of the traditional anti-system approach, we need a new space of meaning for all our activities. And the rest – solvitur ambulando.

...despair is not a luxury, it is more a laxative for purging our bullshit. There is a place beyond despair where we can begin again but, trying to avoid despair, people often don’t allow themselves to reach it.

Jem Bendell, Breaking Together

Breaking Together encourages us to think about collapse in ways that are profound, possibility-expanding and startlingly original. Bendell’s “post-doom” perspective has the potential to change individual lives, upend organisational strategies and give birth to whole new social movements.

Bendell advocates for an ideal of “ecofreedom”. This moves beyond obvious ideas, such as reconnecting with nature, to encompass supporting youth climate activism and decolonial, resource-preserving movements in the Global South.

The post-doom approach also calls for embracing a “positive disintegration” of self and values, to refocus one’s mind, and entire existence, on things that really matter.

Friday essay: if the world's systems are 'already cracking' due to climate change, is there a post-doom silver lining?

Jem Bendell encourages us to think about societal collapse in ways that are ‘profound and startlingly original’, with the potential to birth whole new social movements, says Tom Doig.

^{The Conversation}

Our current predicament largely stems from wrong ideas about the separation between people, as well as between people and the planet. These ideas have been used for centuries to justify exploitation and oppression. Our current predicament is the result of them and the power structures they have led to.

The DA Forum actively seeks to replace these mistaken narratives with more connected and loving responses, and with better ways of relating to people and the other-than-human world. We welcome all who come here seeking these peaceful and loving responses, and actively discourage community members from promoting non-loving or violent views.

Avoiding Authoritarian Responses to our Predicament - Deep Adaptation Forum

We want the Forum  to be a welcoming space for all who are waking up to difficult realisations about societal disruption and collapse; and we’re committed to non-violence in both action and words.
