Living Future 2015

We humans live by cultural stories that define our common values, sources of meaning, and relationships with one another and the rest of life. A society’s shared story is the lens through which its members view reality, generally unmindful that it is a human creation subject to choice, and has powerful implications for society’s common future. When we get our story wrong, we get our future wrong. This session will examine the story by which we currently organize as a global society, why it leads us to work against rather than with the rest of nature, and how we can change it.
