Summary
“We consume not only stuff but also knowledge, experiences, critique. And this consumption, many times, is not even digested. It is the consumption for consumption’s sake so that we can feel better.”
What might it mean for humanity to reach a level of maturation to be able to confront the multilayered crises we now face—calling upon us to “grow up and show up” for ourselves and our planet? And how might recognizing the differing historical contexts that we were raised within help us to have more empathy when navigating our generational differences?
In this episode, we revisit our past conversation with Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, a Brazilian educator and Indigenous and Land Rights advocate. She is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities, and Global Change at the University of British Columbia. She is one of the founders of the Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Arts/Research Collective and part of the coordination team of the "Last Warning" campaign.
Vanessa is also the author of Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and Implications for Social Activism.

| 1:14.8 | That urnning stems from the understanding that that's something that's wrong. If you can |
| 1:20.6 | use the word disease or greed or destruction that is happening around us. Like, this affects our bodies. |
| 1:28.7 | Part of our bodies know, and that knowing may be numbed or deactivated, but it's there. |
| 1:35.0 | And from that knowing, a yearning for a different form of existence emerges. |
