For better outcomes from situating sustainability more within competing worldviews.
For better outcomes from situating sustainability more within life-supporting resilience.
For better outcomes from situating sustainability more within new media.
As a vision sosukeonline chooses to view sustainability more as an idea about the enhancement of life-supporting capacity resilience and especially of situating it more within an appreciation of competing worldviews, or modes of thought. Then with the honouring of the creative and the wondrous we might better metaphorically dream the process to enable more worthful outcomes.
In implementing these ideas, sosukeonline situates its framings within “competing worldviews research abstracts”, and within “news media followings” which are together targeted towards achieving a wider foundational understanding of our reality. Such understandings can then lead to a better realisation of our languages of dreaming and seeing and assessing and deciding, for as expressed by Yuasa Yasuo in Overcoming Modernity, it is the language we use to convey our ideas that decides the outlook of our philosophies.
sustainability philosophy foundation …. and .... “natural capital resilience” and “natural capital debt”
At a more unconsciously entrenched and deeper layer, we argue that Western culture has created a moral order which separates mind from body and man from nature, which justifies selfish property rights and plunder without moral conscience, which technologically exploits without sufficent regard for the enhancement of life-supporting capacity resilience, and which denigrates the wondrousness of things, and that the dilemma of our times is the dilemma of what to do about it.
As part of these ideas sosukeonline feels the need to encourage the reawakening of our capacity to dream more deeply, and to be open to other contributing philosophies outside of the Western cultural tradition, perhaps also as expressed by Miyazaki’s anime films and their philosophy of having a greater “courtesy towards nature“.
sustainability …. and …. “responsibilities” and “stewardship” and “property rights“
More specifically it is to aim for a reconsidered property rights and property management land use regime which assumes the recognition of natural capital resilience and natural capital debt, which recognises the need for stewardship whilst making competing worldviews and conservation conflicts explicit, and which incorporates appropriate “commons” rights within property’s “bundle of rights”. Such “commons” rights would be founded upon covenantal custodial responsibilities which embrace the enhancement of life-supporting capacity resilience and kaitiakitanga – and so Mauri (or life force).

nz cultural well-being …. and ….”collaborating to better foster and debate sustainability perspectives and ideas”
The anti-mining Queen Street march of May 1, 2010 gave voice to NZ’s dilemma of how to preserve our natural heritage while addressing our now apparent declining economic well-being. What are we not doing right? Why are we so seemingly paralysed within such a stale debate? What is a better way forward? Why are new ways of doing things often not received very well? Why do we more often attack the messenger rather than consider the message? Why is our group behaviour so territorially insecure? How might we better foster and debate worthwhile ideas? How can our languages of ideas sharing better accommodate this?
