A theme that keeps returning in my political and philosophical reading and thinking is the lack of #imagination.

I just read an essay about Günther Anders, a philosopher who wrote about living in an age where our capacity to imagine thing is dwarfed by our capacity to act. For exemple: we can't imagine tackling climate change because it's so big, but at the same time, we are causing it.

There's a link here with #Graeber his critique of #neoliberalism as a system to suppress imagination. Any attempt to go beyond the limits it constrains us in, people are ridiculed (at best) or violently repressed. There Is No Alternative - by force if necessary.
