2. Not enough goods or goodness
SCARCITY MIND
Not enough goods or goodness
Fear, blame & competition intensify
Almost everything—from food to energy--is scarce
Power inequities worsen & more people experience scarcity
SPIRAL OF
POWERLESSNESS
Humans are selfish & competitive
Concentrated wealth bends government to serve its ends
So we’re incapable of coming together for the common good
So wealth inexorably concentrates
We must rely on the market, one bringing highest return to wealthy
Therefore we can’t trust government

3. “ The liberty of a democracy is not safe if
the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism… ”
New SLIDE FDR quote “The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism…”
-Franklin Delano Roosevelt

6. Aligning with nature, there’s plenty of goods & goodness

ECO-MIND
Aligning with nature, there’s plenty of goods & goodness
Needs are met, fear recedes & trust grows
Humans have the need & capacity for fairness, cooperation & efficacy
“Living democracy” shapes rules aligned with nature, including our own
SPIRAL OF
EMPOWERMENT
So we’re capable of deliberative problem solving
Markets remain open, competitive & life-serving
Democratically set rules ensure transparency & dispersion of power
Freed from the grip of private wealth, government answers to citizens
And we can remove the power of money from politics
