The atmosphere was wonderful. Seven years ago people were standing in the streets, on the roofs, in the parks, on the balconies, and on the squares. They cheered and sang, they cried with happiness, and danced, because we had finally—almost all humans and non-humans—created a basis for living together.
Erik Bordelau summed it up back then:
“For we are always already at stake with each other, partnered all the way down. Inhabitants of the world, earthlings and earthbounds, creatures of all kinds, human and non-human, we are entangled in a series of interlaced trails and creative feedback loops, holding open life for one another. In the world to come, everyone holds pieces of each other’s life, socially and financially. We are entre-preneurs and entre-donneurs, inter-holders and intergivers, networked together to collectively distribute the risks and opportunities of living.”
Today in 2038, we live in an age of a “New Serenity”.
