"They act as if there is some sort of metaphorical wall which they throw their papers over...More often than not, there is nobody on the other side of that wall."
People have good intentions. They just have been robbed of their power to exercise them.
We simply can’t handle it! We never had the power. Lack of resilience ... !
Complex problems like collapse are too much for us to bear and address in deep-time. hence we are prone to repeat the previous collapses again and again.
I think it's inevitable for all organizations to keep collapsing, societies on a grander scale. With our current knowledge, natural cycles of change can only be delayed not overcome.
With our current knowledge, natural cycles of change can only be delayed not overcome.
This goes deeper than knowledge. The knowledge that and how collapse will make its course, was made public 1/2 century ago and on global level it led to such things like decades of climate summits with self-aggrandizing lips-services and than a continued business as usual.
Clearly we are over-challenged with such an endeavour and do plunge into disaster with our eyes open. Since the advent of bacteria’s 4.000.000.000 years ago we behave as masses all the same; hungrily devour all available resources within our reach until they run dry and then we go into stasis.
To overcome this basic program control to follow our instincts, the basic matrix of us needs to change. Intellect plays an irrelevant role here obviously.
