## Reunderstanding the living being
Such an understanding of the occurrence of self-reproducing orgasms on any level is crucial in developing an eye for the hidden power flows that keep our institutions alive. The life force is in our systems as much as it is in our cells. White supremacy and other systems that resulted from colonialism are contemporary examples of power dynamics that make the fight for systemic justice so hard. The Western capitalist system, majorly based on power-structures from colonialism, is a reproducing organism that will resist when systematic change occurs.
## Holistic systems are the way thinking needs to go come back - everything is one big system: Our biophysical world and sociopolitical as well as all other disciplines are interconnected
Therefore, forms of governance that encompass and honor every part of our world are crucial to fighting climate change and systemic injustice.
