Couldn't agree more about the danger of futures that we internalize as being inevitable. One thing I'm curious about is whether you find this to be true across different cultural contexts or if (outside of climate which is a truly global concern) it's particularly a Western phenomenon?
Great question, Bia! It’s absolutely a Western phenomenon. As Payal Arora has shown in her latest book, ‘From Pessimism to Optimism,’ it’s a very different story in the Global South. Will pick up on that in a future issue.
