Only connect, always share

The only thing you have to fear is fear itself, but here we’ve managed to iron that out – there’s none of that need to own, to guard against the unknown. No fear. The giant vampire squid of capitalism has eaten itself, sucking it’s own blood until its banks and towers and ideas desiccated and crumbled.

In this world. humanity has cured itself of the crack addiction that is individualism. No cars, no use of fossil fuels. We’ll have slowed in so many ways – now evolving and developing at a gentle walking pace as we sit and take stock of what we have done to each other, to the planet. In this utopia, we learn from the past. Mistakes are understood and not repeated. Enough is not a dirty word. Enough is so much less than we could expect it to be, and so much more. Progress is not achieved at the cost to others, and in fact, humanity has discovered that the gentle and considered exploration of our own brains and how not to do more, but to do better. What that better can be to all is much more fun in the long run.

Here, society is not designed by the have-all overlords as a convenient cash-cow – keep the masses consuming and thick, ensuring a biddable consumer base for cut price crap they never wanted in the first place. No. Society means ‘only connect, always share’. We raise our children in large fluid units, We don’t race here. Supremacy is not key. We is a global concept, genuine empathy not a currency but a value.

And they said we could never change. We did. Remember, we said, it doesn’t have to be this way.

Michelle Madsen is co-hosting our Utopia night on the evening of Wednesday 19th August – get your tickets here.
