Going through old notes from my book The Good Ancestor, here's a graphic I never used but which is important today: there's a strong correlation between good long-term public policy (intergenerational solidarity) and the degree of political decentralisation www.romankrznaric.com/good-ancesto...

“History offers us an antidote to the idea of an inevitable clash of civilizations” - of war, xenophobia, violence. But we need to look both to the future and the past right now as climate migration increases. #cordoba www.ted.com/talks/roman_... @kateraworth.bsky.social @romankrznaric.bsky.social

Roman Krznaric: Protesto é essencial contra crise do clima

Join the GSI for our next seminar on the 12th February with author and social philosopher @romankrznaric.bsky.social, who will discuss his recently published book ‘History for Tomorrow’ on the problems facing humanity in the 21st century and how we can learn from history to tackle them.

I’ve just finished this book which provides interesting examples of how history might help us deal with the our generation’s most pressing issues. Highly recommended for those who can’t just sit back and watch calamities role out. 5* #books www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

"We exist now in a fleeting bloom of life and knowing, one finger-snap of frantic being, and this is it. This summery burst of life is more bomb than bud. These fecund times are moving fast. " - Samantha Harvey, Orbital

"Ontwrichtende bewegingen breken de regels, soms breken ze de wet. Maar het is simpelweg te riskant om ze niet te hebben." Het verleden biedt inspiratie voor een hoopvolle toekomst. Juist de verhalen van gewone mensen en activisten, vindt filosoof @romankrznaric.bsky.social. Lees het interview. 👇

OK, maybe you've woken up with a horrible New Year hangover. But according to @brenebrown93.bsky.social there's one kind of hangover that's good for you: a VULNERABILITY HANGOVER. Find out more in this article from my archive www.romankrznaric.com/outrospectio...

Really enjoyed my holiday reading: @romankrznaric.bsky.social‘s *History for Tomorrow* - lots of historical insight and reasons for “slow hope” despite polycrisis. Will no doubt inspire New Year’s resolutions to personally contribute more to building solidarity and disrupt ideas of inevitability.
