The climate crisis is in its Neville Chamberlain phase right now. People still imagine that a concern with the climate is trendy, and that a judicious head-nod here will mean peace in our time. Those people are not merely mistaken, they are delusionary. They are nodding in disdain at the basic laws of physics.Bruce Sterling

Happiness?
Happiness is co-created
• People are happy when they engage in the production of (their own and the common) well-being.
• Happiness is an action, flow
• Achieving happiness requires time and action
• People can be happy about about something or happy in action
• When people are happy about something they compare to others
• When people are happy in action they share happiness with others
Here we get a formula for the future
CO2= FUTURE
A Happy Society is Co-Created, Made by Us All

“I call it the politics of "I can". It represents a desire for people to not just have access to material goods, but greater power, control and choice over all aspects of their life, from the jobs they do, the relationships they enter, the services they use, the products they buy.
[...] It is an age where people want to be players not just spectators. [...] ‘
Web 2.0 allows the spirit of “I can” to transcend the limits of consumerism, and become a mass movement for cooperation. “
David Miliband: “We can -politics”
