Chances for alternative hedonism
For the third and last time the Practical Utopia Directorate will be open to public within Cabinet of Futures, we will concentrate upon Fair Food and Clean Cargo.
Before we become overwhelmed by the commodification of everything and the loss of meaning of the things we have, let‘s create an alternative hedonism allowing appreciative materialism. We drink wine from across the globe that is 10 cents cheaper than a good bottle from around the corner and own things that are cheaper to discard than to cherish and maintain. The polluting cheap fuel that makes this possible is responsible globally for tens of thousands of deaths every year. Cargo reflects many of the ways that we are breaking the bounds of survival. We wonder how to eat well, live well, own and share meaningful things without getting outside what Kate Raworth calls the Doughnut Zone, the safe and just space for humanity.
In this block we will talk about thriving food cultures and the local interactions, about appreciating the rare and well travelled, about thriving where you are, as you are.
