Emotional Evolution

Emotional Evolution – LinkedIn Article 3 minute read

This article was the first in my LinkedIn Newsletter series; it introduces the theme of my work. Namely, unpacking the reason that we are failing to slow down ecosystems collapse. Emotional hurdles prevent the realisation that we need to make that our priority. Instead, we are frantically trying to globally maintain and protect the current ecocidal civilisation. By focusing on the wrong priorities, we are daily aggravating the dangers that we shall face in the future. The need for emotional evolution is explored.
