1. Ideias Para Adiar O Fim Do Mundo
A concise, poetic manifesto that challenges industrial society’s assumptions and urges a radical rethinking of our relationship with the world: it contrasts Indigenous cosmologies and communal responsibility with extractive capitalism and technological hubris, warns of ecological collapse, and proposes humility, respect for nonhuman life, and slow, collective ways of living as necessary responses to avoid the end of the world. The text mixes cultural critique, spiritual reflection, and practical insistence on protecting land, memory, and diverse forms of knowledge as the basis for imagining livable futures.
