70 AND OLDER
REFLECTIONS ON THESE INTRIGUING YEARS
The Coming Population Decline is an Opportunity
The upcoming global population decline changes the rules for climate change discussions. Fewer people will bring a less stressed, more habitable planet, and end our growth based economy. It’s a golden opportunities for our culture, the planet, and new leaders.
Accepting
I’ve seen enormous changes in global population, consumerism, and climate change. We can accept human nature and our consumer culture, while actively contributing to peace and greater sustainability.
Visiting The Red Zone 2
At a wonderful Ohio family visit, some jarring behavior reminded us how we each stick to our comfortable tribes, and how disconnected we can be from the reality of people in other tribes and to our shared humanity.
Is My Life As Good As It Can Be?
Asking, “is my life as good as it can be?” led to some changes, and reflections about how much I like structure, and being busy.
The Biggest News of 2023
The world population will peak sometime between 2065 and 2085. Then it will plummet. That’s good news indeed, because feeding and maintaining the planet’s exploding population brings so much planet-wide destruction.
Family Visit
Our recent smoke-filled road trip through Oregon and Washington brought home the climate change message, “Get Used to It.”
Free Lunch?
Our culture provides us meaning and purpose but it stepped us outside the rules of ecology, it’s not sustainable. Is it time to pay the bill?
Enjoying Time With Children
My recent two weeks in the UK with my grandson reminded me how much I enjoy being with children. I’m thinking I’ll do more.
Don’t Worry
My centenarian mother in law’s key to a long life is Don’t Worry. For many, that’s hard to do. Corporations and the media want you anxious and attentive. You don’t have to obey.
National Caring
We love technological wizardry like AI, but we don’t care for our people. That’s an unsustainable doomsday scenario.
