After watching the last CEL talk of the year, I felt really inspired after hearing all three speakers talk about what they would want their futures to look like, and I feel like we have similarities in what our futures would look like, but I want to touch upon what I found intriguing about their future visions. I really liked how the first speaker said that in their future they imagine taking power away from corporations and putting power back into the hands of the people. I think in her vision she was more specific about climate justice, and taking power away from corporations to save the environment, but even for me just hearing her say that, makes me reflect and think how much power corporations have over governments, and everyday people. I would agree that power needs to be taken out of their hands because it has me worried for what the future looks like if it’s just corporations running the world without a care for any human being. Another thing that the second speaker said that stood out to me was that his future vision would look like a much less colonized future. If I’m being honest this is something that has slipped my mind when thinking about the future, maybe because I don’t experience the colonization that Indigenous peoples do, but when I do think about it, I would agree and say that I would like our future to be much more colonized. I feel like the world would be so much more connected and more cared for if the world was less colonized, and that’s something I would really be interested to see.
