We are going to be creating lots of new ways of solving problems in the coming months and years. How do we avoid relying on the worldviews and habits and patterns that brought us to this moment?

I don't have answers (at all!) ....I think this is an important question. And a few thoughts, at least as a starting place.

#1 Follow different leaders. Follow the women, Indigenous people, people of color, workers, healers, artists who start with different ways of knowing and thinking.

#2. Cultivate more reflection in ourselves, so there is always a split second (even in an emergency) to ask, is this coming out of an old pattern?

3. Spend time in different ways. Off of screens. In nature. Making things. Reading different writers (see #1 above). Cultivate a different imagination.

We may well need to feed, educate, and comfort each other, build together, create communications networks, etc. We can't afford to waste that effort replicating patriarchy, extractivism, and white supremacy.
