Excellent read, thanks, also attended and enjoyed the ARC conference at the Excel in January…not sure I think of myself as an upper middle-class boomer from a former colony.

ARC for me, coming from Canada, which is full of climate activists, was refreshing, educational and I met a lot of interesting people.

I am planning on attending ARC26 & would like to meet up with you.

Yes, a meet up would be great. I know what you mean. It did feel like a 'safe-space', for want of a better phrase. I met some great people as well. I even met a survivor of the Piper Alpha disaster, which was amazing. I think, as they said at the conference, the networking was the main attraction. It's nice to be with kindred spirits, eh?

Best comment “The clash of civilisations is taking place in human terrain, not on or in physical borders.”

Humans doing battle with our physical world ( let alone the Universe)….David and Goliath like.

In a million years, so much has changed. But the fundamental Elements have not.

We are all Isomers looking for functionality!

Thank you for writing.

I’m heartened that Scotland accepts “white refugees in the highlands”. I hear the accommodation can be 5 star so I’m hoping white Australian will also be considered. You do get mix with a lot of interesting people.

Hi from Sydney 👋🏼

I enjoyed reading about your travels and was drawn to your post due to looking into ARC/Legatum after listening to this:https://docmalik.substack.com/p/318-behind-the-curtain-legatum-arc?r=ysain&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=audio-player

~ very interesting!
