What work do you personally need to do to reckon with what productive resistance looks like, and has Abundance helped further your thinking on this? If so, how? If not, why not?
Productive resistance here speaks of a neccesary change in the way our nation thinks. Personally, I would enjoy working on what I consider to be one of the most important parts of change, messaging.
I'd like to focus in on answering a few questions. What is science? What is human learning and education? I disagree with this statement made by the authors of "Abundance", "we know shockingly little about how science actually works." The message of uniting works in the opoosite direction. The message of uniting citizens of the United States, is to join in on this profound journey of discovery we call learning. I would explain that education, science is fundamentally about relationships. From Quantum Relational Mechanics to human dialogue, truth emerges through real interactions. I want to focus in on the message that America is that "shining city on a hill", because it's citizens are enlightened. That we know the importance of honesty, and the power of knowledge, and that we believe that all men and women are created equally. I want to focus in on America ideas are the best ideas because they take in the most complex set of human values, and brings them together in a true message of underdtanding, where the systems we create are a reflection of what we've learned.
Jamelle Bouie had an interesting piece in the NYT today referencing “the historian Jeffrey Herf’s notion of “reactionary modernism” to show how the MAGA movement is a “peculiar and perverse synthesis” of backward-facing nihilism and resentment and future-oriented utopianism. With Trumpism, Ganz writes, “there is the idea of production, national expansion, growth, development, but combined with a sharp restriction and rollback of who gets to share in the political and social bounties of citizenship.”
How do the authors position themselves in relation to that? Looking forward to the discussion.
My brother, Dr. Herbert Morais,subscribed to The Ink on my recommendation. Weeks ago. Still not receiving and he and I have enquired multiple times. Please fix this problem. I hesitate to share if others are going to have the same experience though I love The Ink.
I can't get on the live video. It doesn't appear on my laptop under your website, and on my iPhone I can see a piece of it with a banner underneath that tells me I need to be a paid subscriber of The Ink or Klein to watch. I paid for the book club. Is that not enough? I prefer to watch on my laptop because it is hard for me to watch anything at length on the iPhone. I've read most of the book but my whole reason for paying for the club was to see the discussions.
Many people believe that work at the small city (town, community) can work to solve the problems of scarcity of clean water, air, food security) despite federal or state level gov't inaction or even opposition. What do you have to say about this?
The book has been such a great source of healthy debate and conversation. And it gets us thinking about the future in a positive way.
Looking forward to this!!
Democracy & Capitalism work pretty well when you control 80% of the world's GDP.
What about now?

The conversation with the authors was so very interesting and thoughtful! Thank you for organizing this Anand. Simply wonderful.
So appreciate the authors addressing their critics, and explaining their intentions and vision for the future. I'm ready to fight for that vision!
