What Could Possibly Go Right?

#5 Dr. Susanne Moser: Hope Requires Uncertainty


Listen Later

Dr. Susanne Moser brings her work’s emphasis on climate change adaptation to the question of “What Could Possibly Go Right?” Her insights include:

  • That hope requires uncertainty. “If you're completely convinced that we're doomed, or if you're completely convinced all is going to be fine, you don't need hope... Only if the future isn't written can we possibly wish for hope.”
  • How these last few months are encouraging people to open up conversation in areas that previously felt off limits.
  • The feeling of breaking apart and collapse is often a crucial piece in enabling transformation to begin.
  • Considering how to add greater resilience into our systems to reduce vulnerability in the midst of complex, compounding events.
  • The focus on basic needs in Maslow’s hierarchy during crises, especially safety.
  • That if we're not emotionally safe or politically safe to express our differences, we do not have community safety.
