We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

My video for Moby, ‘Are You Lost In The World Like Me?’

Click here if you wish to access this animated 3:15m cartoon directly from Steve Cutts' website.

I think that Cutts is a brilliant illustrator and animator (as he describes himself). If you like this post, I'm sure you will be enticed to explore his other material.
