Thank you for asking for comments. You were the resource I turned to, and referred my colleagues in Montana to, when they complained about public"apathy" toward climate change. Your TED talks have been super helpful. I love "It's time for a total reboot of everything we think we know about changing the world." This is reimagining the future. Yay!
Here's my comment:
Decoloniality is foundational to addressing the "wicked problems" that we are facing. "Modernity" is a term that is inclusive of these multiple, interacting crises.
From a book review I published on Medium in 2023:
"Hospicing Modernity"(2021) brings inspiration from “Indigenous teachings from communities of high-intensity struggle in what is known as Latin America and Canada, who swim against the flood of colonialism that subsides modernity.” (Machado de Oliviera, p.38) In her Preface, titled “My Grandmother’s Gifts,” Vanessa Machado de Oliveira describes “existing between cultures in historical dissonances” as the child of a German father and Indigenous mother in Brazil as “painfully complicated.” (p.xxviii) One legacy she received from her Indigenous grandmother was the “insight that the sense of separation and superiority implanted by modernity is a social disease in all of us, that requires collective healing.” (p.xxiv) She gives us a workbook, containing “a language and pedagogical approach to ‘clear the space’ for the possibility of seeing, sensing, relating, and imagining ‘otherwise’ to emerge.” (p.41)"
This video content is new to me and may inform your work. The story "The House that Modernity Built" is just one segment that reminds me of the 5 Guiding Principles you present.

Thanks to you and your colleagues. You are appreciated!
These principles make so much sense and definitely need to get out there. It makes sense to get into the organizational development teams at organizations?
Would love to be a part of training folks in this but unfortunately I am not someone who knows anything about donors or funding.
LMK if there are other ways to get involved. I do work at Kaiser as an acupuncturist, but as a provider, it doesn’t always feel like I have much pull.
Keep up the good work. I met you at a good people dinner in Berkeley and love what you are doing.
