🌫️ Rising from the Fog: Talks, Assemblies

I’m back on the road, giving talks again. This week I was with Patagonia HQ in Amsterdam and Scientist Rebellion in Utrecht. It feels like stepping out of a long, painful fog. Our movement crashed in 2020, and so did my body—locked in chronic pain for five years. But now, I’m here. And my vision has never been clearer.

The UK insurance industry is warning of catastrophe: four billion deaths in the coming decades if we don’t slash emissions (Lenton, 2025). Four. Billion. This is not alarmism. This is the scale of the emergency we face.

With Revolution in The 21st Century, I’m organising talks, workshops, books, and fundraising to rebuild the movement. We can’t afford fragmented efforts. We need coordination, collective action, and a radical shift in how we fight.

Taking Back Power

Citizen assemblies—where ordinary people, free from elite control, make real decisions—are essential. Whether it’s building local power, contesting elections, or forcing governments to act, assemblies can drive systemic change.

Mass protests will give this movement momentum. Extinction Rebellion shook the system. The Dutch climate protests have made waves. But we need to go further: a movement that cycles through assemblies, mass mobilisations, independent candidates, and sustainable grassroots funding.

The system won’t fix itself. We need sortition-based assemblies—randomly selected citizens making decisions without corporate influence. From single-issue local assemblies to a fully sortition-based government, this is how we shift power back to the people.

The movement will grow in waves. Assemblies will form. Mass protests will rise. Independent candidates will run. And we’ll build sustainable funding to keep going. This is how we win.

It’s time to rebel—for life, for everything we hold dear. Drop me a message if you want in. 🙏🏼

P.S. Picked up It’s Not Just You by Tori Tsui from the Patagonia library. Haven’t heard someone admit to writing a book on psychedelics since Aldous Huxley. 🍄 Excited to dig in!
