Consciously adjusting personal priorities can enhance life quality and community resilience. Firstly, moving from isolation to interconnectedness is essential; as challenges increase, reliance on community and nature becomes crucial. Emphasizing social connections and local resource exchanges strengthens community bonds. Secondly, redefining wealth is vital; instead of fixating on money, recognize and value real capital, which encompasses health, knowledge, skills, relationships, and ecological resources. Shifting focus from monetary wealth to a broader understanding of capital fosters a more meaningful and interconnected existence.

In this week’s Frankly, Nate shares twenty different things to expect in the future, some which will be extremely difficult to influence but others which are in our control to change. From the forecast of an increasingly hotter planet due to the Superorganism’s insatiable appetite for fossil-carbon energy to a world of growing conflict and inequality, our tendencies are to despair and feel a loss of control.

Will moving from a world of consumption and power defined by money and social status and away from apathy and isolation be possible? What if we purposefully turn the ‘control knobs’ in our own lives to shift how we approach a post-growth future by embracing reality - instead of unrealistic tech solutions - redirecting our focus towards deeper interconnection with community and local systems? Which control knobs might we turn to fill our hearts and lives with goodness, awe and wonder?
