## Resource

As long as we keep the values of Late Capitalism we will be trapped within and reproduce the problems associated with our current system. To reorient ourselves within our world we need to articulate for ourselves a new set of values. Two key elements is to resist the notion of money as a necessary arbiter of all things and to reevaluate our desire for haste. It is in large part our addiction to speed, haste, busyness and the attempt to live this way that opens us up to many of the problems we experience. Slowing down, doing less, and doing what we like are pretty much revolutionary today. Sign-up for Wes’s PATREON community  to get your questions answered by Wes!
