Rabbit Holes 🕳 #19

From bullshit growth to plummeting living standards, the power of framing, feeding animals, and designing cities along a feminist philosophy

Dec 21, 2022

We’re back with another – and also the last – Rabbit Holes issue before the new year. As everyone is already in an end-of-year holiday mood (or is it just me? 🤪), this one is a bit less text-heavy. So enjoy! 😉

Rabbit Holes 🕳

As always, 5 perspective-shifting 🤯 ideas that I’ve come across lately:

📈 Bullshit Jobs (© David Graeber) And Bullshit Growth

Bullshit growth.

🛥️ Plummeting Living Standards: Poor vs. Rich

Translated from German. The original version is here

👁️ The Power & Problem of Framing

Rob Hopkins @robintransition

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

🌾 Feeding Animals Instead of Humans
