This is your personal invitation to discuss the draft of the Nua-Celtic Manifesto with me on zotum.net/profile/ncm. We need #degrowth, a #DonutEconomy and #SystemChange to #Conviviality in a #CaringEconomy of #Partnerism within #planetboundaries 🙏 […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxims of conduct (8-9/24):
We replace our self-interested thinking and acting by striving for the highest good of All-That-Is.
We acknowledge the destructive effect of growth in a finite world. A good life for all people is only possible with a decreasing world GDP, which is distributed as equally as possible to all. That means that we in the global north have to limit ourselves (#degrowth), so that self-determined developments are still possible in the global south.
