A meditation over a capitalist ego in the face of climate emergency. A provocation
Abstract
In this meditation, I will challenge my own inability to take in and act on the seriousness of the situation of today’s world: Its planetary crises affecting all life. I do so by addressing the violence and domination inscribed in me through being schooled in the western capitalist culture in which I live. A culture in which perfection is the end goal of everything. I challenge this ego of perfection, by embracing the un-harmonizable plant-ness of life and joining the joint struggles against eco-based as well as gender-based violence.
