    We need to have and defend radical ideas to solve our problems. Thank to all experts for their courageous presentations.
  • @MendeMaria-ej8bf
    Great presentation. Hopefully is it going to ignite many company leaders!
  • I love Kate's confidence and conviction that lends such power to these ideas but I love these ideas even more. I love the acceptance that this is how the world is and the boldness of the question - "Well, what are we going to do about it?" The very best part, though, is that she has a solution, or at least a way through that has a more than decent chance to work. Not an authoritarian directive to bludgeon every company to conform but an appeal to the humanity in all of us to use our power for the benefit of all of us and the planet. As she said, it is that simple - and not so simple....

    Excellent! Kate is so brilliant. Love her and her work. Kate's work will be requisite in Phase One: TRIAGE, which is actually, well already begun. As The Global Collapse becomes imminent and undebatable we'll have to adopt the Doughnut Economics system. It won't solve the Metacrisis but it should buy us some time to work out the necessary mechanics of Phase Two: TRANSITION. That is, of course, if we survive TRIAGE, which there is strong evidence that we may not. Stay focused! Fight the good fight! Get the word out! Plant a tree! Love somebody! Write your leaders! You know the drill.

    As ever - so clear and wise - makes total sense - thanks Kate

    I guess it was about 7 years or so when I decided to go for a run by the sea listening to London School of Economics podcast. Lucky for me Kate was talking and my world perspective immediately changed. Over the years I discovered Nate, Daniel, Tristan and many others. Now when I see them all on the same stages I know we are on to something...
  • Break the Rules Kate!! Thank you for hanging in this long journey...keep on going! Amplification is coming! Trust and believe.

    I am thrilled—pleased to have happy tears—that your speakers have taken the gloves off and decided to speak truthfully regardless of the consequences and the pain it may cause some listeners. Movements like these will not be popular until they are. We must sacrifice in millions of positive ways to break the spell of neoliberal global capital and our perverse and destructive concept of growth. If we must rebuild culture within our current pathological system, so be it. And let's not forget the tens of millions of humble people that will make this transformation happen. It's not the Stars, credentialed influencers, or the gurus and yoginis that will make this happen; it will be the ordinary people with a dream willing to sacrifice everything for a healthier culture.

    Only a couple of our needs are physical, we also need identity, affection, creativity, participation, leisure, freedom and understanding.

    Is that a blue lit torture chamber? Excellent presentation, but the venue doing what, exactly?
  • @esmith6738
    The “inner work” companies must do for a regenerative future is still “outer work” for individual human beings. Such inner work must occur on an individual level on a global scale or our well-designed regenerative companies and communities will fail because they are incongruent with the inner life, motivations, sensibilities, aspirations of individuals. The radical transformation of our outer world must be matched by an equally radical transformation of our personal inner world or the mismatch ensures failure. Every other effort to create a regenerative future is just a work-around that avoids this most radical of problems. Until we solve this problem we will simply put a new face on our old world and its habits and congratulate ourselves for our innovation. When you put new wine into old wine skins you ruin the wine and get only sour vinegar.

    100% to so much of this. Fair BnB. These still ruin rental markets for people living in a place. The question to profit driven people is 'how much is enough'. Fundraising from family offices and HNWI the same question comes up, yes yes people planet, 'in line with' or 'risk adjusted rewards'. Impact is just a slide title. Even body shop that is shown in this presentation.

    She is right the main objective of radical ideas is to transform society' TRANSFORMATION" is a Marxist OBJECTIVE In the last century, particularly since the 1970s, the capitalist system has undergone significant changes, experiencing transformations socially, economically, and politically. While capitalist societies have been the primary drivers of economic progress, technological advancements, and social development, challenges such as social inequality persist. To address these issues without transitioning into socialist or totalitarian models, potential reforms within capitalism include implementing progressive taxation, strengthening social safety nets, ensuring access to quality education, safeguarding workers' rights and fair wages, encouraging corporate social responsibility, enforcing antitrust measures, promoting inclusive economic growth, and implementing financial regulations. These reforms aim to create a more balanced and inclusive capitalist system, acknowledging that capitalism, with appropriate adjustments, remains a powerful force for positive societal development.
