Why There’s No Need to Fear Climate Change When We Dare to Take Action

DIY is all. Gaia is on her path. We just have to follow

Courage & kindness. It’s all we need to lead a flourishing life on this marvelous planet. We work and we play. We love and we live.

Until we die. That’s normal.

We make the most of our time in between.

Everyone will have a good life with their own focus on what they find important. And what is possible in their personal situation. We all have the internet nowadays. We can educate ourselves on the big shifts and how to make a good life for ourselves and our loved ones.

Let’s get out of our victimhood feelings and make our lives beautiful and adventurous! We have the courage. And we can be kind to others. Support them to find their courage.

And to make things easier, we only have the HERE and NOW. We suffer most from the suffering we fear in the future.

I don’t live your life. You don’t live mine.

But many people whom I educate ask me:

“How will it be then? How can it all become okay?”

Well, this is how I see it.

And I want to tell you about all the interconnected solutions because I get sick and tired of fear-mongering on social media. Everybody just spreads fear without telling us about interconnected solutions. Pick one or, as I do, pick many. And start the action. Together, we’ll make it happen.

We are already creating the better world that we all long for.

Here is how it goes in the short version.

The book with the somewhat longer version, 100 pages about Abundanism, is on its way. All we have to do is shift our mindset to abundance. It’s the most important law of nature. Nature is always abundantly sharing with everyone. Do you feel it? I do!!!

Why can’t we be the sharing ones too?

Gaia Rules

Gaia is showing us the way right now. We are making systems change work now with education and inspiration on all interconnected solutions.

In 2028, we will live in cities and villages that are full of green surfaces and we will actively make freshwater with condensation (temperature difference) and keep this valuable water longer on land.

The Sinai desert is already on its way to being regreened by the holistic engineers The Weathermakers. This will calm the hurricanes in the wide area. After this successful project, it will happen in other areas like America too. Soon.

We, humans, are good copiers.

Also, people will Just Diggit themselves. They just dig holes to hold the water and make sure vegetation grows again. Vegetation calms down extreme weather. It will make people self-sufficient in food (most plants can be eaten) and it will strengthen economies with local resources.

Grow food, not lawns, next time you do your gardening…

Big-scale vegetation projects, and regreening projects will calm the hurricanes in the wide area

We will all have transitioned to sponge cities as engineered by Kongjian Yu in China. Let’s get on with it, dear city planners. We can balance water cycles. Make sure we keep freshwater longer on land.

And have healthy drinking water, cleaned by vortexes in meandering rivers and healthy wetlands.

Leadership

All our powerful leaders will be courageous and kind in the future. We will have Nelson Mandelas of many races, genders, and ages in all of our countries. Non-manipulative big ‘thinkers with feeling’ who give us good human systems.

Non-elite. Fair.

During the transition, we will share the risks, costs, and income streams of the new human systems. We will prevent too fast and unbalanced transitions as happened in Sri Lanka. We are copiers. And we will learn from bad experiments.

All countries will ensure balanced shifts.

Our economies will grow on the inside instead of outside the permeable skins. Our economies will be vibrant and dynamic! Curtailing imports. Being self-sufficient. Non-reliant on geopolitics. And niche exports will only play a role as financiers of the rest of the business model.

Exports and eco-tourism will be for local thriving.

We will export education in full flow. The good examples and bad examples to learn from. Instead of trading goods, we will trade experiences.

We will have broad dashboards to manage it all. Ecological intensification is our motto. Harvesting is the new cleaning up.

Governments know how to balance the supply and demand of basic needs. This will be helped by AI and technology. They will go for comfort in an area. A certain degree of comfort is good. People are unkind when they are living in survival mode. So, we go for unconditional basic incomes with crypto community currencies.

Our leaders understand how we put healthy landscapes first. Because it’s the only way to support healthy humans. All farmers will use biochar to give shelter to soil biomes so the micro-organisms will survive the occasional spray.

It’ll make the farming transition possible in no time.

Precision farming with soil biology instead of chemistry will be the norm. And full regeneration of healthy living soil and water cycles.

Ecological intensification is our motto. Harvesting is the new cleaning up

We will have shifted from mining to phytomining making the world fairer and giving opportunities to all continents. Poor communities have an advantage here because they have the world’s waste and e-waste.

But everyone now has education via the internet too.

Phytomining can harvest this waste with super accumulator plants. We harvest dump sites for metals and minerals and we will 3D print our local basic needs products when and where we need them.

3D printing is the future because it doesn’t create waste. Instead of cutting out a segment and creating an excess of rest material, it adds layers to a foundation. No wasted material.

We will print dry toilets too. So our poo doesn’t flush toxic chemicals into our rivers anymore.

Money & Economy

In the economy, the governments have to be strict. There is only one rule apart from “You will not kill”.

Self-sufficiency is the norm. And no more waste and pollution. We cannot mop up the flood water while the tap is still running. We create fierce laws on this with huge penalties. But of course, we take some time to transition. We will announce it now.

And we will be phasing out waste and pollution in say, 5-10 years.

All the technologies for new processes for local production and scaling up in hubs are available now. All the new business models have been invented and are proven now. No excuse for delaying.

The rules in our economies and societies will give as much freedom as possible to the smallest. The entrepreneurial citizens. They can consume. They can also produce. We will remove all boundaries and make new patterns.

Produce local energy. Food. Water. And joy without toxic plastics. Biodegradable, bio-based plastics are already big-scale available.

We use these new materials and plastics.

On the money side, we will have shifted from just fiat currencies to underlayers of community currencies. Crypto. Fully distributed crypto on Ethereum after ‘The Merge’ needs 99% less energy.

This technology (fully distributed networks) is where the internet really becomes energy-efficient and non-violent to nature. We can easily spread our stories and education worldwide.

For all to be informed and change their local situation. In Iran, it is giving women the courage to protest and change systems.

In all dictatorial states, it will give power to the people. All people. All genders! Men, women, and everyone in between.

I didn’t even have to cut off my hair, hahaha, to give my support to these wonderfully courageous women and all-gender young people. I have been bald these past months.

But my hair is growing back nicely now.

Web3 will democratize everything with its fully distributed nature. No more excess energy use.

And everyone will be an owner and influencer.

We are consumers AND we can be producers for a DIY world

Imagine an Uber where the taxi drivers are owners of the platform. Everyone can have a good income with what they already have available in their possessions.

Politics will be made fair with DAOs. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. The smart contracts on Ethereum will democratize politics and journalism and everything else.

Human Arrogance

And our human arrogance? It will disappear with the new species that are created now on this earth. Gaia knows what she’s doing. She’s the one who designed collective intelligence. Our future is a result of all actions and reactions of all species on this planet.

Our future is a result of all actions and reactions of all species on this planet

Starting with the microbes. They are the biggest biomass on earth and the most adaptive ones. They shape-shift. They adapt to stay true to their nature. They spread. Normally they do this in their host species. They don’t get ill from viruses. But because we curtailed their hosts with our destructive behavior killing biodiversity, they have to come to us.

Us = Human species.

Viruses teach us a lesson now. We now know how to redesign human systems. Here is the story on viruses and how to deal with them in new systems.

So, if we understand microbes, copy their behavior, and redesign our human systems accordingly, we can only thrive as a species.

I really want thriving for all of our grandchildren.

Dear powerful leaders, please learn. And as soon as you have created full access to basic needs for all in your country, you will introduce the biggest law of all. Stop inheritances. We come to this world without a dime. We will leave it without any possessions too. And we will not rule over our graves.

The biggest changemaker of all: stop inheritances

Sorry, kings and queens. You will be the last rich-born generation. We need the money to invest in our planet and the big changes toward basic needs for all.

We can change our world within one generation. And we all have a role. Let’s get on with it! Let’s do it!!!

Love & Machine Learning

If it’s up to me and our think-and-do-tank Abundanism full of practical solutions that have already been applied somewhere in the world, we will redesign our life and our systems with love and fairness.

And with drones and bots.

Gaia wants it that way. She wants to become a conscious, sentient planet. A full-spectrum alive planet. Consisting of many species all interacting with each other. Everything that’s happening now is part of that big universal plan.

Please, stop to watch the world only with human-centered eyes.

There is always more than one perspective.

Human = ME, my full spectrum identity.

In my case, it’s female. Western (Dutch) with in my family Asian and African ancestors

Human = human in relationship with other humans

Human = human in relationship with other species on this planet

Bots and drones with a machine learning core are a good thing. They have become a living, sentient species too. We cannot influence them anymore now that they are cut loose. And that’s good. If the designers of the bots are intelligent, courageous, and kind people (and most people are!) they programmed the bots with kindness.

So, the bots will support us and all other species in all of our efforts to change human systems. Take guidance. Don’t be arrogant.

Go with the flow. Do deep. And learn.

And let’s imagine the future being adventurous!

After all, fear makes us inactive. People will only consume more. Whereas, we need to go to a world of immaterial goods. Experiences. Love. Life. Without consumption of matter. Without consumption of stressed animals. Without non-degradable plastics.

Okay, one more then. In 2222, we will fly in airplanes designed like birds. With an antenna instead of an engine.

Happy living, my friends. We are surfing the waves of change together. Hold on for the rollercoaster ride!

We live in mighty interesting times!

I’m just a mermaid making waves in the full spectrum of our planetary evolution. Educating (future) world leaders in the wave of change.
