After two centuries of immanent planetary politics, by the twenty-second century the political had become planetary. This means that since the 2020s political analysis encompasses the entire sphere of the planet and cannot be conducted without a holistic approach. The 100-year planetary organic crisis (POC) began with the global ecological overshoot of annual demand on resources exceeding the Earth's biocapacity in 1970, which had the potential to end with the decline in human fertility and population a century later. However, the events of 2022 led to the realisation that humanity was headed for, at best catastrophic 3 °C global heating, and at worst extinction-level 5 °C hothouse earth by the end of the century.This contribution to the Handbook of Global Politics in the 22nd Century was assembled from the teachings of Ian Manners by three of his followers at Lund University (Yoda Betula, Gaia Lovelock Margulis, and Krik Oakenglade) who collaborated using an Ansible Quantum Communicator between the status quo, capitalist, and symbiotic universes. This chapter offers a reflection on how we arrived at planetary politics in the twenty-second century in five sections, drawing on normative empowerment, shared communion, and planetary symbiosis in Manners' teachings. The first section remembers the 100-year POC from ecological overshoot in 1970 to population decline in 2070. The rest of the reminiscence covers three presents since the 2022
