How do the stories we tell ourselves and each other about ourselves, each other and our place in the web of life shape our world?

How can we craft narratives that can shift the way we see and experience the world?

I also quite like 'throughtopia'. It emphasises that the journey to a just world is made of individual steps. People seem to have an instinctive bad reaction to utopianism; perhaps this is the way to communicate it better.

...thrutopia?

no, that just looks filthy

What could we become if we all - individually and collectively-realised our full human potential?

Given the ongoing chaos, we urgently need all 8 billion of us to Fall in Love with a Future we’d be proud to leave as our legacy.

"Today, as we stand at a #climate crossroads, we need those stories more than ever. But not the ones of doom that paralyse us or the utopian dreams where technology magically saves the day."

Read this new piece with Sam Bowen about the idea of the #thrutopia.

Ancient myths weren’t just entertainment; they were survival guides. They now are the blueprint to navigate the climate crisis.

Protopia as intermediate point of development of new futures. I’ve used Thrutopia

Prototopia has sense of iterative prototyping to next future

Thrutopia has recognition that any present can be better but still isn’t the final thing

Great populist slogan... "Thrutopia & Transformative Adaptation"...not!!

"Without a compelling vision of the future and enough living examples around the world to demonstrate its viability, I fear more and more people will continue to slide into despair and apathy who might otherwise be moved to action."

3 Horizons are also forms of ThruTopia.

Each stage is better, is whole and is the stage for the next generation of changes

"The lords of the cloud are betting we’ll stay passive…

They’re counting on our resignation. “It’s too complicated and out of my control.”

But resignation is a choice. And choices can change."

I have spent 30+ years learning survival skills. I have managed ancient woodlands, restoring coppice & laid miles of hedges while witnessing the insect apocalypse in my lifetime. I dont see any thrutopia, but plenty of Dunning-Kruger.

I believe the technical term is "thrutopia" - basically it gets unimaginably bad but there's an ending that doesn't restore the status quo ante but offers a chance to fight another day.

Nightmare fuel: Markley's sources tell him his book is...kindof a best case scenario.

All the things wrong with #thrutopia
1. Romanticised imaginings of an impossible ‘post-collapse’
2. Focuses on an imagined two-gender white middle class, to the exclusion of diversity
3. Mobilises a racist version of British indigeneity
4. Rupert Read

Have you heard of the Thrutopia movement?

Thrutopia, come what may?

I was listening to my favourite podcaster, Accidental Gods speculating on AMOC shut down. Commented winter -40°C in some places we can't survive that.

Yes we can & have

The 20 Minute Neighborhood just might be the ultimate in localization enhancing and helping to cocreate our Thrutopia while also helping us to become more Collapse-ABLE.

So... What are the pros and cons?

Also, in looking for examples of creative non-fiction thrutopia, could include @hjm.bsky.social's essay Vesper Flights - be more like swifts: send some individuals to take in the panoptic view and, as a group, assimilate it.
