We can benefit from imagining, ideating, and criticizing utopias and dystopias, but what about right now? Utopias are unachievable and dystopias are undesirable, so what worlds should we inhabit and build, especially now and in the near future? In the pursuit of utopia and in the rejection of dystopia, we encounter Thrutopia.
Join us this week as we explore what thrutopia could look like and mean in this stage of modernity and its ongoing collapse.
If thrutopia is what might get us through the near future, the near- to mid- to even long-term work of surviving the future, then what about our lives immediately, as we live them in this moment? What brings us joy and aliveness, closer to utopia, in our day-to-day? There are glimpses and tastes of utopia all around us: birdsong and sunlight; a beautiful garden full of produce and bees; a meal around a crowded table; crisp, slow mornings; warm evenings with loved ones. On this call, we’ll appreciate the ways the Earth has brought us little slices of utopia – ourtopia – and still brings it to us every day.
