#19 Alnoor Ladha: Is This Even the Right Question?
Manage episode 274910301 series 2762715
Alnoor Ladha is a political strategist, writer and activist, with a focus on the intersection of political organizing, systems thinking, structural change and narrative work. He was the co-founder and Executive Director of The Rules (TR), a global network of activists, organizers, and others focused on changing the rules that create inequality, poverty and climate change. He is a co-founder of Tierra Valiente, a post-capitalist community and healing center in the jungle of northern Costa Rica. He is a board member of Culture Hack Labs and The Emergence Network.
Alnoor brings spirituality and big picture thinking to today’s conversation on What Could Possibly Go Right? including:
- The question of “for whom” when asking what could go right, plus the understanding that right and wrong isn’t binary
- The debunking of the belief that the pandemic, climate crisis or impending financial recession are a disruption on progress as “the way things were supposed to be”
- That embracing uncertainty and being at peace with ambiguity is cultivating a more resilient character for us
- That we need to fundamentally rethink our economic operating system, away from a globalized system of extraction when only a few people are holding the power. A post-capitalist reality may be emerging.
- That this is the moment for us to say what we actually stand for, not just stand against. What do we want to live for and what are our values?
- That we've inherited a story in a system that doesn't serve the majority of humans; and as none of us are outside the system, there is no such thing as apolitical
