We have this one Earth.
We have this one life.
Time to respect both.
Hello, I’m Felix!
Here, I share stories and observations about personal and global transformation, from the perspective of the Sincerity Theory.
By sincerity I mean a commitment to look honestly at the challenges we’re facing while also upholding a commitment to being in touch with ourselves.
Facing global transformation
Whether we like it or not, we’re currently approaching a crossroads of profound global transformation.
The ongoing challenges of climate change, extreme inequality, and political polarization are increasingly affecting all of our lives, while the accelerating dynamics of AI are pushing us into new levels of uncertainty.
At the same time, I believe we have a real chance to steer this transformation towards a future that allows for healthier and happier existence on this one Earth. And it’s my clear experience that actively contributing to this transformation can be deeply fulfilling.
Finding inner strength
There’s a difficulty with this though, and I think we should be honest about that, too:
Our current social and economic structures expose us to pressures that can bring us out of touch with ourselves and our capacity for compassion.
I believe that cultivating inner strength is as important right now as is making our contribution to the global transformation.
In this newsletter, I share stories and examples on how to find purpose and strength in these uncertain times. I hope it inspires new and meaningful connections, so that we can join together on this fascinating learning journey.
This newsletter is human-generated: I write all texts myself and if I use AI-generated content, I will mark it clearly.
About me:
My name is Felix Weth and I see my purpose in promoting sincerity - within myself and more broadly by contributing to a redesign of the social and economic structures that influence our lives.
I believe that if we really want to have a chance to live sincerely, we need to disempower the structures that are continuously distracting and corrupting us. In this sense, I see myself as one of the human fighters who work on freeing humanity from the power of corporations. This may sound a little crazy, but that’s how it is.
Over the past twenty years, I have initiated several projects that aimed for positive structural change, from Studies Without Borders, through Fairmondo, to Cosyland and CosyAI. I spoke at dozens of conferences and traveled between bubbles and movements, from anti-corruption activism, through the platform coop movement, to conscious communities.
Seven years ago I realized that I needed to take a break. I stepped back to reflect and started writing on my book “The Key to Our Future”, which I’m finally about to finish.
This book is at least equally crazy as me: It seeks to connect the dots between diverse transformative movements and approaches, in order to develop a strategy for reclaiming control from the Corporate Logic that currently dictates the fate of our species.
To make this happen, the book puts an emphasis on how we can become happier, healthier, and more conscious along the way.
I believe this presents a dual challenge:
Our personal challenge to be (mentally) healthy, happy, and sincere within the current structures.
Our collective challenge to transform these structures so that they actually support us in being healthy, happy, and sincere, instead of constantly distracting and corrupting us.
For a more personal introduction, you could read my first text about Dragonstrength.

We’re all needed now
I believe that cooperation is crucial now, if we wish to preserve this one Earth we have as a place worth living for ourselves and future generations.
And I think we can all contribute to a positive transformation in our own unique ways. Let’s connect and make it happen.
