.@fmlappe on democracy:
"Democracy stands for a set of three conditions that are necessary to bring forth the best in our nature and keep the worst in check."

According to @fmlappe, these 3 conditions for democracy are:
1) "the continuous and wide dispersion of economic and political power"
2) "transparency"
3) "cultivating a culture of mutual accountability"

"The reason this system is creating such incredible misery is that our essential needs for power, meaning and connection are not fulfilled by it. The challenge is trying to embody those needs in our lives and work for them in terms of changing the system’s rules and norms." 13/
"[Democracy] relates to the idea of finding your inner citizen and participating in changing system laws, not just policy laws." ~@fmlappe
This also reminded me of @bethsawin who writes a lot about systems thinking.

.@fmlappe: "we can set rules that make a market work for all of us."
@david_marchese: "How?"
@fmlappe: "By making different rules that have different consequences."
Yes, yes! We are at a time, when I hope we can start to make different rules. #ClimateAction

Lots more to absorb from @fmlappe's interview. But I'll save that for another thread.
Thank you to @startmyquest for alerting me to her interview in the first place!
