Hold your position, make tactical retreats if necessary, but keep the core of truth alive.
The tide is moving against us, in so many dimensions. Covid brought upon us a new wave of eugenicism; the far right is on the rise everywhere; genAI threatens our mental autonomy. The US constitional arrangement disintegrates. Big Business has taken over the UK Labour government. The horrors of the Middle East.
All of these developments amplify each other. There is no way for us to succeed against this powerful confluence of developments just right now. Things will get worse still.
But the tide will turn, eventually.
Our task is to maintain islands of integrity, wherever we can. To maintain a living memory of what it means to speak the truth, to be kind, to be authentic, to recognise facts, to listen.
That will not always be possible, but try we must.
