Dive into a reflection on the concept of "onto-change" and the Commons with the episode "The insurgent power of the Commons & the crisis of imagination" from the Ecologia podcast in partnership with the Heinrich Boell Foundation Tunis. Explore how reshaping our thought frameworks can shape a sustainable future and pave the way for positive transformations.
Heinrich Boell Foundation Tunis is proud to present a captivating episode of the Ecologia podcast in partnership with our organization. In this episode, we had the privilege to host David Bollier to delve into the profound concept of "onto-change" and the disconnect between dominant thought and realities.
The episode, titled "The insurgent power of the Commons & the crisis of imagination," is now available on YouTube. Be inspired by this one-hour conversation hosted by Arafet Ben Marzou and Emily Sarsam, where we delve into the crucial question of how our thought frameworks shape our perception of the world.
In this episode, the two hosts and David explored how our beliefs, invisibly influenced by culture, history, and personal experience, play a pivotal role in how we interpret the world around us. They also discussed the ideologically selective nature of thought frameworks and their ability to influence our perception, sometimes hindering us from recognizing new realities simply because there isn't yet vocabulary or logic to make them culturally understandable.
An exciting aspect discussed in this episode is the idea that talking about politics alone isn't sufficient to provoke political change. They emphasized the importance of reevaluating our fundamental assumptions about reality to transform our perception of the world and create a better future.
A crucial part of the conversation was dedicated to the notion of Commons, highlighting the essential characteristics of these collectively managed, equitably accessible shared resources. We explored how an ontological shift can unveil new political, economic, social, and behavioral truths, and how adopting a relational ontology can be a stepping stone to a deeper understanding of the Commons.
By rethinking our established thought categories and exploring new perspectives, we can shape a more open and sustainable future, where the Commons play a vital role in building a fairer and harmonious society.
Join us in this exploration of the path to the Commons and discover how deep reflection on our thought frameworks can pave the way for positive transformations.
