We've gotta change this...

I typed in the words "movies where the world..." into the Google search bar to see what popular endings would come up. Welp, I was somewhat hoping these wouldn't be the results but that's what came up - this was November 2019 that I tried this experiment. We've got to change the fact that so much of the media we consume deals with dystopia, especially repetitive dystopias. The films about purposeful population decrease in order to save the planet has shown up in many Hollywood films now. Yes, art might be helpful to warn us and scare us into taking action to ensure terrible things don't happen, but I think that has been proven to be ineffective. We are still organic animals that tend to do what we see, and we manifest what we can imagine. So, let's amplify more hopeful stories and create art of better futures, not-the-worst-case-scenario stories, they don't even have to be utopias. Let's envision more, and share these ideas more often, and design, write, dream, imagine and lean into futures we want. Name some futures that you would want to come to fruition! Share some compelling visions of the future that really inspire you.
