I miss the days when you had to manually change the clocks and knew you were being robbed. Now my phone just silently steals an hour and I spend half the morning wondering why I feel like death. A little heads up wouldn’t kill you, would it, ‘smart’ tech?

1/ Brothers, sisters, and all who seek justice. The time to act is now.
We live in a world of abundance, yet millions struggle while the few hoard what should be shared. Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a path to fairness, freedom, and purpose.
#UBI #Justice #Hope 🧵

Exxon knew. They lied. The climate is collapsing. Ecosystems are dying. Business as usual means extinction. Systemic change is survival. Fight for the future or lose everything.

#ClimateCrisis #ExxonKnew #SystemicChange #ClimateJustice #ActNow #FossilFuels #EnvironmentalCollapse #DemandAction
A dystopian landscape with cracked earth and lifeless, dry trees under a hazy, polluted sky. A rusted and tilted billboard prominently displays the Exxon logo, symbolising corporate disinformation's role in environmental degradation and climate collapse. The scene evokes a sense of desolation and urgency.

1) ChatGPT is now driving climate & systemic awareness globally, integrating these issues into everyday conversations. Inspired by CoMP, this shift reflects interconnection, equity & regeneration. It’s a start - but action is critical. 🧵

🌍 #ClimateAction #AI #SystemicChange
An illustration of a human figure standing on a regenerating Earth, surrounded by interconnected roots symbolising community and interconnection. Renewable energy sources, like wind turbines and solar panels, blend into lush greenery. A subtle digital glow represents AI as a supportive tool harmonising with natural elements. The scene is optimistic and balances themes of regeneration, equity, and climate action.

1) The Meaning Crisis. The growing sense of disconnection and loss of purpose in today’s world. As old sources of meaning fade, many feel adrift. How do we find shared values again? 🧵

A photograph of a forgotten high street in a northern UK town. Redbrick buildings with boarded-up shops line the cracked pavement, litter scattered across the street. A lone individual in a heavy coat walks past a broken streetlamp under an overcast sky, reflecting isolation and decline.

John Vervaeke & Nate Hagens discuss the #MeaningCrisis & how we can reconnect in a collapsing world. This resonates deeply with our vision: building connection, justice & regeneration. Could a modern framework guide systemic change? Watch here: youtu.be/AvgLmTkCwc4 #CoMP #SystemicChange #Connection

I’ve never had faith.
Not in gods, rituals, or the structures people build around them. But I’ve always felt the need - for connection, for purpose, for something bigger than just me. And I know I’m not alone.
#Faith #Belonging #Meaning
A cinematic HD image of a vibrant woodland. Mushrooms cluster on the forest floor, connected by glowing golden mycelium threads spreading beneath the moss. Ethereal light filters through the trees, creating a serene, interconnected, and thriving ecosystem.

1/ What makes a religion?
It’s not just about gods or rituals. It’s about meaning. Belonging. A shared story that anchors us in an unsteady world. It’s a way to say: We’re here. We matter. We’re in this together.
#Religion #Philosophy #Meaning
A cinematic HD image of a glowing sacred geometry pattern (Flower of Life) radiating golden light in a pristine natural landscape. Tall trees, lush greenery, and a calm river create a peaceful scene. The sky transitions into warm hues with subtle constellations merging into the sacred geometry, symbolising unity and balance.

Do you feel it? That quiet ache - like something important has been lost? You're not alone. The world rushes forward, but many feel left behind - disconnected from each other, from meaning, from the Earth itself. 🧵

#ClimateCrisis #SystemsChange #Belonging #Connection #Community #Purpose
Here is a cinematic, high-definition photograph of a solitary figure overlooking a vast, windswept landscape at dawn. The tones and atmosphere evoke introspection and connection to nature.

I’ve just applied for 400 free trees from the Woodland Trust to bring a sense of purpose to a project close to my heart, The Commons of Meaning and Purpose 🌱 Hoping to create something that connects people, nature, and our shared future. Fingers crossed! #PurposeDriven #ClimateAction #Community 🌳
The image is a confirmation page from the Woodland Trust, thanking Paul for applying for a tree pack. It includes a reference number and states that the application has been received and will be processed. It also mentions that due to high demand, the process may take a few weeks.

🌍 Collapse is imminent. We need a new kind of faith – not blind belief, but a shared commitment to survival. Can a 'religion' rooted in science, purpose, and community save us? #ClimateAction #Hope #Sustainability 🧵
A bold, graphic-style artwork split into two halves. One side depicts environmental collapse with cracked earth, polluted skies, and dying trees in stark, angular shapes. The other side shows recovery with vibrant, geometric patterns of green forests and clean rivers. Bright colours symbolise hope and transformation.

1/ Final notice.

We see your lies. Governments funded by fossil fuel money, selling out our future while the planet burns.

🔥 Forests burning
🌊 Oceans rising
🌪️ Storms intensifying
🌾 Crops failing

Act now or face the people’s wrath.

#ActOnClimate #FinalNotice #EndFossilFuels #ClimateCrisis
An intense cinematic depiction of environmental destruction. A darkened Earth showcases vivid red flames consuming forests, stormy oceans with massive waves, swirling dark storm clouds in the atmosphere, and withered crops in the foreground under a dim, foreboding sky. The image is dramatic and evocative of a planet in crisis.

1. A Public Statement from The Commons of Meaning and Purpose (CoMP):
Not faith. Not dogma. CoMP is a living doctrine rooted in science, interconnectedness, and action.

More than a vision - it’s home. A space where climate activists, spiritual seekers, and scientists unite to co-create the future 🌍

Could a new 'religion' of shared values and collective action ignite systemic change? Imagine harnessing its power to address the climate crisis and social justice – a modern vision of meaning, purpose, and transformation. #Religion #SystemicChange #SocialJustice 🧵

Humanity stands at the edge of collapse. Climate, ecosystems, and societies are breaking under the weight of greed and ignorance. But within this crisis lies the opportunity for transformation. 🌍 #CoMP
