Yuval Noah Harari
“One of the recurrent paradoxes of populism is that it starts by warning us that all human elites are driven by a dangerous hunger for power, but often ends by entrusting all power to a single ambitious human.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“In fact, the “monster” in Potawatomi culture is Windigo, who suffers from the illness of taking too much and sharing too little. It is a cannibal, whose hunger is never sated, eating through the world. Windigo thinking jeopardizes the survival of the community by incentivizing individual accumulation far beyond the satisfaction of “enoughness.” Contemporary Windigos who cannibalize life for accumulation of money need their own name.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

Yuval Noah Harari
“One of the chief lessons of history is that many of the things that we consider natural and eternal are, in fact, man-made and mutable.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“You can store meat in your own pantry or in the belly of your brother. Both have the result of keeping hunger at bay but with very different consequences for the people and for the land which provided that sustenance.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“The next stage of human economy will parallel what we are beginning to understand about nature. It will call forth the gifts of each of us; it will emphasize cooperation over competition; it will encourage circulation over hoarding; and it will be cyclical, not linear. Money may not disappear anytime soon, but it will serve a diminished role even as it takes on more of the properties of the gift. The economy will shrink, and our lives will grow.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
