[...]In the United States, the threat to democracy posed by hidden sources of cash has taken on particular urgency since Trump tried to overturn his loss in the 2020 election. Since then, public records and investigations have revealed the role that American oligarchs have played in delegitimizing Biden’s victory, fuelling misinformation, and trying to rewrite state election laws.

Rutger Bregman on A New Hopeful Narrative for Humanity

Love Tomorrow

5,608 views Aug 9, 2023
In this session from the Love Tomorrow Conference 2023, Rutger Bregman, renowned author and thinker, delves deep into the essence of human nature, the power of hope, and the importance of a positive worldview. Drawing from his books "Humankind, A Hopeful History" and "Utopia for Realists", Bregman challenges us to reimagine our perspectives on progress, climate change, and the role of individual responsibility in shaping our collective future.

From discussing the global shift in science towards a more hopeful view of humanity to addressing the pressing issue of climate change, Bregman underscores the importance of moral ambition and the potential for positive change when humans come together. He also touches upon the role of media in shaping perceptions, the potential pitfalls of the degrowth movement, and the transformative power of collective action.

Bregman's insights serve as a timely reminder that while challenges abound, hope, collaboration, and a renewed sense of purpose can pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.

He says one thing early which i've said here to so many people. Like, yes the world is in a
bad state, but it is better than it was. Rutger adds that there is much hope for the future.

And that hope is better than optimism. That's a good one.
