The radical separation of humans from nature, our being so self-absorbed and seeing nature as defined in our heads rather than the other way around, has been a deep mystery for a long time. My interest in it came from noticing how mathematics became our standard for representing nature but cannot describe or help us … Continue reading Betrayed by the power of our minds
The imbalance of information about the costs and rewards of money; the intensely felt rewards and zero information on the environmental costs, has fooled humanity for ages. Even in our effort to stop climate change today, we aim to pay for reorganizing all our energy uses to continue the compound growth of using them that … Continue reading How we can know for sure
Paul Maidowski @_ppmv offered to respond to some of the tough questions about Climate change. On Jan 16 I posted the following image of how climate change has only accelerated parallel to economic growth, with no recent bumps or bends in the curve, starting the short discussion below (w/ minor edits for clarity). Paul, Why … Continue reading a leading edge of the research
From a natural systems science view, every culture change is a growth process. As with all growth processes, the start is small exploratory steps that if successful settle on some main direction, or directions of new development. That development then either switches to refining its internal design and maturing its environmental fit, to establish a … Continue reading What A-R-E we doing?
_________________“Natural growth” is nature’s way of creating long-lasting new lives, of all kinds. Intro: How system responsiveness is expressed in natural growth is as anticipation of the opportunity to end growth by perfecting the emerging system. To do that, the system’s steering needs to switch from multiplying to harmonizing (i.e. maturing) its design and place … Continue reading Why natural growth is our natural and likely only way out of our world growth crisis
To make our escape there’s not just one requirement, but the main path is to join the emerging understanding that our new age of growing environmental chaos is a natural result of overextended compound economic growth. In nature, growth is a tricky two-edged sword, the greatest of gifts to begin with then the greatest of … Continue reading How our world can Escape its long DEATH SPIRAL

STRUGGLE AND BREAKTHROUGH After inception originates a desire, a long struggle for change follows and then a fast breakout and establishment – To understand these best, think of examples in different circumstances from your experience, personal, business, world, or in nature. For the transformation to an Ecological-Civilization there’s the barrier of needing to introduce … Continue reading Transformation pathways
