@urlyman@mastodon.social @floridamarx@mastodon.social thanks for sharing this. I don't mean to be difficult intentionally but when I looked into this NE Briefing previously, it felt a very white, male, businesses-orientated movement... I'm not saying it isn't a worthy thing... I just feel conscious that we risk just repeating what has come before us.
They might claim to be "for the people" - but this is hard to believe when much of their team is made up of professors, business specialists and so on.

@matttutt@mastodon.social I agree. I have the same sense. My personal perspective is more where @adamgreenfield@social.coop is with the #Lifehouse concept: https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/116408348052777789 I am nonetheless quite enthused about NE Briefing (from a distance) as an *adjacent possible* thing. It’s potentially a window into broadening a sense of agency. Which might then make more grounded next steps possible. I’m going to attend a couple of screenings to see if that has any credence where I live @floridamarx@mastodon.social
