How Fantasy Worlds Can Spark Real Change | Annalee Newitz | TED

[@Koalaparks6678]

As a victim of trauma, I have used escapism to cope, and sometimes I find myself in my fantasies. Who I am, the reaffirment of love I desire.

[@Arbiterjim]

Very cool project. And the video is right that a full worldview comes from everywhere. The books you read have as much influence as your schooling

[@nunu736]

This is also a genre of sci-fi called solarpunk! Where it’s built around bringing the earth back into settlement to work *with* the environment to better our communities!!

[@andies75]

Love the line : sometimes we hv to escape our problems in order to solve them lol… totally apt for this season of my life

[@solarpunkstories]

The Emerald Tutu may have been inspired by Goblincore but it also looks pretty solarpunk to us. Thanks for sharing this video Analee

[@Jacqueline.anne.r]

Love the Emerald Tutu Project, great idea!

[@kaleffi]

That's a great manner to see fantasy stories, very good

[@junglejim3433]

The Emerald Tutu actually already exists in nature. Sort of. It’s called the Mississippi River Delta, and its slow degradation is causing worse flooding in New Orleans. Ironically the loss of the delta may be due to the creation of levees, put in place to control water inundation

Escapists are trying to understand the world via different perspectives.

[@Toxick404]

Don't you dare go hollow!

I don't want change.

[@nothingijustlikeyou]

There’s nothing in this world that should improve? Energy efficiency? Human rights? Nada?

[@AlaahAkbr-q9c]

🎉God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.

[@mr.c2485]

Your little story fits perfectly with the title of this podcast……fantasy world.

[@JosPoortvliet]

@@mr.c2485indeed. Have you heard about Santa Claus? He is gods little helper, bringing joy to children all around the world! He’s way better even than allah and jaweh because he brings gifts.

[@SchmelvinMoyville]

🎉 schizo alert 🎉

[@AmeliasMiMi]

Very well done. 🫶🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lolcoca]

I would not say to escape the problem but to find a solution if there is one but to solve it positively with great emotional intelligence. And then after let it go . . . 🤍🤍
