Saviours
No one is going to save us – but we will save ourselves. I’m watching the television series Messiah on Netflix, which highlights how prone we are to look for saviours. It’s no coincidence that the top grossing movies of all time almost all fall into the hero/superhero genre. But that’s not how the real-world works. It’s not that we lack charismatic leaders or inspiring activists. It’s just that leaders are not as powerful as we (or they) think or hope. Complex living systems are not controlled, only influenced. And it’s the billions of interconnected actions that change the system.
