Day 822 Mon 12/11/23 Breaking Together: The Collapse of Modernity and a Freedom Based Response
- --- Humanity Rising Day 822 - Monday December 11, 2023 (GoTo Bottom)
Jem Bendell will discuss some of the issues arising, and response to, his book Breaking Together. He believes it to be the first book to provide ample evidence that the collapse of modern societies has already begun, along with the habits of modernity. Professor Bendell explains it results from monetary systems that abuse people and nature. To soften collapse and regenerate nature and society, he explains a freedom-based response will create more opportunities than top-down control by panicking elites. This is an ecolibertarian philosophy for a post-progressive politics in a broken world. If you want to save some of the world, but hate being told what to do, this book will add to your conviction and persuade others to join you. The book is available in all formats, including free ebook, from ::http://www.jembendell.com::
Professor Jem Bendell is a world-renowned scholar on the breakdown of modern societies due to environmental change. Downloaded over a million times, his Deep Adaptation paper is credited with inspiring the growth of the Extinction Rebellion movement in 2018, and generated a global network to reduce harm in the face of societal collapse. He completed his PhD at the University of Bristol and his Geography BA (Hons) at the University of Cambridge. For decades he worked on Sustainable Development as a researcher and NGO manager, as well as a consultant to businesses, political parties and UN agencies. In 2017, he co-led the development of the UK Labour Party’s communications plan for the General Election and co-wrote speeches for their top politicians. Although recognised in 2012 as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, Jem has been increasingly critical of the globalist agenda on sustainable development. He was one of the few intellectuals on the green left who criticised many of the policies during the pandemic as being ineffective and harmful. Away from that work, and having stepped back as a Professor, he is now a regenerative farmer in Bali and a singer-songwriter, releasing an EP with the band Sambiloto.
