Travel notes from Luton airport and the train to Forres
How
should we approach the whole global crisis and sustainability? Have a look at
my theory about how we perceive the impossible:
Taken my theory, my position is clearly in the realist. A
collapse of civilization seems inevitable, very likely inside my lifetime. Not
that I worry for my safety, I know I can make an easy life for myself even when
states are failing over my head. I’m worried to see myself reluctant and
unbelieving that whatever I do can make a difference, I struggle to find a hold
on the big global thing. Where should I contribute?
So my quest is partly this: to transition from being a
realist, into being a believer. To face all the data, all the facts, all the
scary prospects but in the face of all that be able to truly believe in a
sustainable world coming and be passionate about making it happen. Because a
believer makes the impossible possible. Would I be able to do that?
First night in Scotland: couchsurfing in Aberdeen, a city of sea gulls, Hogwarts like buildings and church-pubs. My amazing hosts welcomed me with dinner, and over some pálinka and Scottish ale
we discussed this and that. I’m glad I’m here, I love travelling, I feel alive.
