Certainty is antithetical to hope. Hope is possible precisely because a given outcome is never guaranteed. Before us lie a range of possible trajectories- relative flourishing, climate & biodiversity collapse. How bad things get depend on how quickly we act. #utopianow

"To limit the [political] discussion to humans, their interests, their subjectivities, & their rights, will appear as strange a few years from now as having denied the right to vote of slaves, poor people, or women” (Latour 2004, g. 69). #Latourlegacy #Ecology #biodiversitycrisis
