We get to choose, as individuals, where and how we make our energy deposits. Some people have less choice.

In the favelas in Brazil I was surrounded by laughter and generosity, more than I had experienced in many places where scarcity of most everything else is not an issue.

Our society gets to choose where it makes deposits. The neoliberal impulse is to drive up the negative deposits for all but the ‘righteous’ few. Keeping people in precarity, fear, soul destroying work. Championing the mythology that says we must live this way to have a healthy economy.

I wonder when we might become alert to the senselessness of that myth? When a Universal Syntropic Income might be a reality.

Creativity, joy, kindness…when we enable these things to flourish, everything gets better for everyone.

This is to be Syntropic.
