Absurd Scenario Planning
By Jean M. Russell & Melissa Pierce
Thrivable Society Journal
Winter 2023
We need to challenge our imaginations, get creative.
Part of what makes thrivability so difficult for people to picture turns out to be how much we live in our assumptions of what exists now continuing to be.
How can we push our imaginations to dream up a thrivable world?
Make up Absurd Scenarios to get your creative juices flowing:
-
- Everyone lives off microgreens they grow in their bathroom.
- Everyone gets a customized diet garden to fit their personal microbiome as part of a universal income and health policy after the massive earthquake in London.
- A solar flare destroys most of digital money, and we start writing I love you, I owe yous.
- The floor really is lava.
Send us your absurdly creative scenarios so we can share them in our next journal and practice imagining:
