Power

Power, in both senses of the word, is fascinating. Often political considerations stymie challenges to the status quo by anything vaguely reminiscent of so-called ‘progressive’ ideals. That’s unfortunate yet understandable from a societal perspective. Too much rocking of the boat leads to it capsizing. Similarly, energy production and use is politicised to ensure that the status quo maintains it’s grip upon it’s raison d’être. Power for power. So, imagine trying to usurp the underlying structural basis of the construction of our societies to help work towards more just social outcomes by highlighting that a sea change in power is required to prevent the boat not only capsizing but completely sinking with all onboard. Yes, it’s almost impossible! 😁
