Stories are the source code that drive our civilization. Change the stories, and we can change the direction of civilization. Our deepest and most powerful stories are called myths. Many of them are unconscious, operating below the level of awareness. That makes them all the more powerful. I like to think of them as rivers, originating from some unseen spring, and growing into massive rivers that seem like permanent fixtures in our landscape. But unless we change them, our current stories are likely to drive our species to extinction. Beavers show us that it's possible to change the course of rivers using mud, stones and sticks. It takes patience, skill and desire. Following their inspiration, I've decided to do my part in re-directing the course of some toxic rivers, pebble by pebble. The following are some Story Rivers I'm working on: [[Story River - Capital]] [[Story River - Climate Emergency]] [[Story River - Commons]] [[Story River - Degrowth]] [[Story River - Domination of Nature]] [[Story River - Embodiment]] [[Story River - Energy]] [[Story River - Money as Magic]] [[Story River - Wealth Maximisation]] [[Story River - Modernity's Single Story of Progress]]
