Good Idea: Hopepunk
https://beforewegoblog.com/purity-and-futures-of-hard-work-by-ada-palmer/?amp=1
Hopepunk is about choosing hope as an active practice, not a feel good fantasy, especially in a world where people are exhausted by constant crises. Instead of stories where everything collapses or a single hero magically fixes it all, hopepunk focuses on ordinary people working together, making mistakes, compromising, and slowly rebuilding something better inside a broken system. It pushes back against cynicism, purity thinking, and the idea that nothing we do matters, showing that progress comes from messy collective effort over time. In a moment when burnout makes giving up tempting, these stories matter because they remind us that change is rarely dramatic or clean, but it is still possible if people keep showing up for each other.

Hopepunk, Optimism, Purity, and Futures of Hard Work by Ada Palmer
Hopepunk, Optimism, Purity, and Futures of Hard Work by Ada Palmer - "Fiction does not give us many stories of continuing to slog on after an unsatisfying partial victory. That makes hopepunk powerful."
Nothing ever seemed to promote action.
The Psychologists are making collectively one mistake (not evidence driven):
They are taking a model which fits to: my-child-writeing-catastrophic-marks-in-the-5th-class and use it in a Heroin-addiction-Problematic.
Mankind is addicted to emitting CO2
(mainly physical addiction - just imagine how many people will die, the moment we stopped emitting fossil CO2 the next day)
The best way to communicate with a addict is to show where it will lead to.
Just forget "positive narratives and small steps" - this is not working for an addict
