The authoritarian solarpunk-from-above movement may look fancy. It may be as seductive and feel as alive as a Nuremburg rally. But it is a forced beauty, a Disney-land aesthetics. It does not follow function, nor morality, nor the truth of the people who live there, nor of the planet and its other creatures. Emancipatory solarpunk — true solarpunk — must instead spring from an aesthetic that flows from real solutions to real problems, from real human concerns and relationships. It cannot be “designed” just for show, for the prestige and allure of a certain political-economic center of power. True beauty

To be aware of your emotion’s impact on the way you’re thinking is a personal development stage towards a metamodern mindset. Don’t bullshit yourself; become aware of your emotions. For example, if you react negatively towards certain words, you have an allergy. Let’s try a few out: Feminism, Capitalism, Marxism, Liberalism, Postmodernism, Profit, Religion, Efficiency, White males, Spirituality, Money, Conservative, Activism, Power, Justin Bieber. If you suddenly get the impulse to explain why any of these words refer to something inherently bad, then you have an allergy.
