SUMMARY:Thrutopia
DESCRIPTION:We can benefit from imagining\, ideating\, and criticizing u
 topias and dystopias\, but what about right now? Utopias are unachievabl
 e and dystopias are undesirable\, so what worlds should we inhabit and b
 uild\, especially now and in the near future? In the pursuit of utopia a
 nd in the rejection of dystopia\, we encounter Thrutopia.\n\nAs philosop
 her and writer Rupert Read originally envisioned it\, "What are desperat
 ely needed\, but as yet barely exist\, are what I term thrutopias. Thrut
 opias would be about how to get from here to there\, where 'there' is fa
 r far away in time. How to live and love and vision and carve out a futu
 re\, through pressed times that will endure. The climate crisis is going
  to be a long emergency\, probably lasting hundreds of years. It is usel
 ess to fantasise a shining sheer escape from it to utopia. But it's simi
 larly useless\, dangerously defeatist\, to wallow around in dystopias. W
 e need ways of seeing\, understanding\, inhabiting\, creating what will 
 be needed for the very long haul. Visioning the politics and ecology of 
 getting through.”\n\nJoin us this week as we explore what thrutopia co
 uld look like and mean in this stage of modernity and its ongoing collap
 se.\n\nRegister!
