Martha’s essay, “Beyond Barbarization” is featured in the new publication of the Great Transition Initiative (www.greattransition.org) as a contribution to GTI Forum Which Future Are We Living In?

“Yes, we might be heading for Barbarization, but we are coming from Barbarization too.” (Van Der Bly, 2022).

“Destructive forces do not need a spotlight or a speaker; they speak for themselves. Fear and anger are loud political forces, but joy, love, trust, and solidarity are much harder to be heard or seen on the competitive global stage.

Let us shine a light on the unconventional, the magical, the unexpected, the unbelievable, the fantastical, that is all around us every day quietly forging the unforeseeable but brighter future we dream of. For it has to be seen to be believed.” (Van Der Bly, 2022).
