Breaching the Planetary Boundaries...
Back to one of the first posts, that I published before opening "thegoalisthepath" in december 2024. Thus, I guess, that only few of you have seen it, but I also wanted to take it further, with a captivating intervention, On May 25th, at "re:publica" in Berlin, of Jonas Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Professor in Earth System Science at the University of Potsdam. Take half an hour and look at it! Among others, it gives a long term historic view of our planet's heat cycles, which is key to understand why lilmiting global warming to 1,5° is such an important threshold to try not to breach...

Breaching the Planetary Boundaries... Listen to Johan Rockström's latest intervention below, it explains why the 1,5° temperature increase threshold is so important to stick to!

Trains in the war
This documentary says so much...It has been realized by a well-known French author with Russian and Georgian family ties, Emmanuel Carrère, and our friend Lucas Menget, a well-known French journalist and international reporter. The idea was, that they took trains from main cities in Ukraine to cities close to the defense lines for three weeks last November, bringing soldiers as well as civilians back and forth, and interviewing them on their lives, situations, feelings... It is all about the war, that you never see or hear. So very powerful and suggestive! See it, it's a very good documentary! The interviews were in Ukrainian and the subtitles are in French for the moment.

In 2040, we will have changed world.
This interview is in French...
Over the past ten thousand years, we have built a world of abundant resources, a stable ecosystem, which has driven us to optimize and perform. The cult of performance is at its peak, encouraging us to constantly increase efficiency and maximize our results with fewer resources. This approach is reaching its limits in a constantly changing world. Today, nature is awakening, becoming volatile, and we must learn to live in an unstable, unpredictable world. How can we live in this new environment? How can we move from performance to a new model? How can we abandon performance and move to another form of society?
Olivier Hamant is a biologist and researcher. He gets up in the morning stimulated by the study of plant life. In nature, robust systems thrive because they accept uncertainty. The researcher draws inspiration from this environment to teach us how to live in an unstable environment through the concept of robustness, and encourages us to apply these natural principles to our economic and organizational systems. What is the concept of robustness? How does it play out in our organizational methods? How can we reverse our ways of thinking and move from performance to robustness?
Grenoble 2040 is an approach that provides the time and means to project ourselves into desirable futures, both individually and collectively. It relies on a sensitive and realistic approach to cultivate clear-sighted hopes, to collectively design a desirable future, and to build it together.

Flashback : Timothy Snyders reaction on the poor reception of Zelensky in the Oval Office in February
In this, his first substack video, he reacts to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
