The inevitable is coming fast. We know it in our bones—and it’s past time to face it. The highly anticipated follow-up to Hospicing Modernity : how we activate responsibility nurture care and grow up in the face of collapse—includes reflections exercises and prompts Climate collapse social crisis the decline of modernity: colonialism capitalism and our full-faced denial have ushered in an urgent new era. Hospicing Modernity asked us to grow up step up and show up for our communities and the living Earth. Outgrowing Modernity helps us make sense of where we’re going—and deepen what’s possible—in a time of endings. Vanessa Machado De Oliveira helps us face the logics and workings of modernity bringing us to clear-eyed terms with its expiration. She explores the impacts of colonialism as neurocolonization : an oppressive function of modernity that rewires how we think act imagine and adapt. These impacts are wide-ranging and run deep: they cut us off from our natural ways of building community and seeking pleasure. They choke our ability to cope with trauma and embrace complexity. And they trap us in a state of artificial comfort and denial that keeps us from collectively growing up—even when our existence demands it. This book invites you to interrupt 5 lies that neurocolonization instills in us—beliefs (and behaviors) that have condition us to think we’re owed the following regardless of others or the planet: Moral and epistemic self-righteous authority Unrestricted unaccountable autonomy Arbitrating truth law and common sense Affirming one's virtues innocence and purity Exploitative appropriation and accumulation of various forms of capital In moving away from these ingrained worldviews we can choose instead to develop 4 capacities necessary to our—and Earth’s—survival: sobriety maturity discernment and responsibility . Machado De Oliveira moves beyond critique into a praxis of strategic disinvestment: one that invites us to recognize what no longer serves us and reinvest in nurturing structures and lifeways that restore our knowledge in the value of life for life’s sake.
