KARL: 'What is your dream?'
FAE LEAH: "I have a lot of dreams but I know that my biggest dream is. Essentially, to see the dismantling of industrial civilization.
I know that it is inherently destructive and completely unsustainable and operates on hierarchies of privilege. There are many others who are less privileged who feel the impacts of this industrialized way of life a lot more deeply than we do. Speaking for myself, I'm quite insulated in the grand scheme of things. With the ever accelerating need for finite resources and the stuff that we're seeing now with drilling into the arctic, offshore drilling, tailing pond spills and massive, massive devastation.
i think that, ultimately, it will be a lot less messy if we bring it all down ourselves. I'm not deluded in terms of recognizing how his is going to look. I get that it is very serious and very messy. It is something I want to be a part of and something I want to see happen. It's been a very big factor in me having my own children. This really grave concern of "what we are we leave for future generations?
So to see something - like the phoenix arising from the ashes - to see something emerge from this way of life. And have these sort of reciprocal communities that take over, that recognize the intrinsic worth of everything and the sacredness of ALL life, and that ripple effect - that regardless of whether you are on the top and reaping the benefits, there is no other planet - y'know?
At some point this can't go on. It's baffling to me because it isn't rocket science, and there are so many people who don't seem to really get it. I think it goes back to being insulated from privilege. I would say by and large my biggest dream is to see the dismantling of this system and something that takes its place that is far more reciprocal and recognizes the sacredness of all life and isn't founded on hierarchies of exploitation and oppression"
