Global Chilling.
What is it? What does it mean?
Global Chilling is an idea that lies at the very heart of Bro Futurism.
Global Chilling, or Global Chillin' as it is commonly referred to, is a way of being.
It is a way of being with the world and with the world's people in a way that
stirs up hope.
It is anti-Armageddon, anti-doomsday, and anti-apocalyptic.
It is pro-future, pro-keeping your head on straight, pro-people, pro-hope,
pro-love, pro-peace, and pro-bro.
The term Global Chillin' arose as a response to the fear aroused by global warming.
While it is all well and good to do our part to end global warming, we have to pay attention to
what is underneath that pursuit; we have to pay attention to what is actually driving
the desire.
I believe what is underneath the desire to end global warming, is a desire to live in harmony.
Harmony with the earth and with the earth's people.
Because we could totally end the threat of global warming and climate annihilation, and still be complete jerks to each other. That's not the vision that I want for our future.
Rather, I propose that we seriously
chill out and not get so overly hyped up about overbearing tragedies of the world, specifically climate change.
Let's move together in a position of overbearing hope and generosity.
Let's allow our vision to be a long term pursuit, a marriage if you will.
Remember, only 30 years ago every climatologist thought we were heading into the next ice age. Who's to say that we couldn't be there again in the next 30 years?
Sam Arthur has completed a graphic for this idea (Global Chilling) which I will post in a few days.
Suffice it to say:
Let your vision of the longterm future inform your present world view, and
chill out when your past doesn't look like you think it should.
