   @pezmico And we all don't have to wait for everyone to choose it together. We can chose it individually now. #Degrowth communities and networks can spread and grow organically. I think "defectors" (#GameTheory terminology) who chose growth over happiness will see the alternative and be drawn to it, especially in midcareer and youth. It doesn't take much #corporate #capitalist #employment and BS to become disillusioned and start looking for more authentic (and #healthy) alternatives.

     Be aware of these slow, leisurely, relaxed days.

     Mindfully enjoy the change of pace, the relative tranquility.

     It's nice.

     Well, it could be something we enjoy regularly, not once a year. It could be a part of our 'week'.

     We just need to choose to work less. To abandon the competitive growth obsession.

     We can produce less, consume less, waste less and rest more, connect more with each other, play more and be healthier and happier.

     Degrowth is a choice we could collectively make.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
