Great post. Whilst I think Hedlund diagram of metacrisis is useful I think it does potentially confuse surface symtoms and underlying causes all together - and disentangling those is important to skilful action.

Personal myths are necessary, but only a collective mythos--a story that explains who we are, where we're from, and where we're going--can organize a society. In the metamodern world Ive seen a lot of references to myth but no actual stories.
I'm beginning with a definition of the solarpunk self and how it is created out of ethical relationships with others. I hope that will inspire people to engage in the collective in ways that will created lived stories.
Beyond that series, I hope to introduce more archetypal analysis from my own personal mythology that have been helpful, potentially weaving that into a narrative that others may benefit from, adapt, and collaborate on. As I said, given my own standpoint that is generally going to center masculinity, but I hope it'll be more than that.
What are your thoughts? What do you precisely mean by story and how do you think this could be more collective? Thanks for the question!

Solarpunk eh? Interesting. Very interesting.
Glad you think so. Is this your first introduction to solarpunk?
I wouldn't say first, but I definitely haven't dug into it.

What's the story you're going to tell?
