Response to Fast-Growing World Confusion & Conflict<\/strong>
Earth Day Apr 22, 2023 – LinkedIn <\/a>– Please repost if it needs to be said<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, we thought we could overlook the mysterious growing variety of world crises. They grew in scale as we developed, seemingly better able to overcome them. However, none continued for as long or expanded as rapidly as the one racing ahead of us today!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keynes solidly predicted it, as have many others, but others didn\u2019t believe it. I\u2019ve also closely studied its physics and emerging self-organization for four decades in detail and general pattern. I had the tools and saw the very leading edge. Then I saw how growth systems multiply their scale and complexity, approaching explosive rates of change in how fast they expand, reorganize, and require their parts to adapt and reorganize their relationships. That\u2019s the killer; what many of us now feel happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes directly from our very most immature of all possible economic plans, endless exploding unsustainable growth. Compound growth is a fast, quick start to a new life, a *pre-birth* process of not fully formed designs. We can see and feel the strains of its rising peak of internal and external pressures everywhere around us. That it\u2019s happening to all of us at once is \u201cthe signal\u201d that things can and must change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, self-animating growth systems in nature gracefully resolve the crises that force them to respond to change or to fail. They change what motivates them, their \u201cpurpose,\u201d from multiplying designs to steering them toward or away from what they\u2019re running into. It\u2019s a sound, tried, and true strategy, if a bit counterintuitive for new lives that have only followed a fixed rule for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The civilizations most successful at growing their power seem all to have succumbed to it, though. People easily become socially fixated on endlessly multiplying the power of their profitable concepts. It\u2019s cutting that \u201cumbilical cord\u201d attaching us to the false hope of limitless growth that could convince us now that responding to life is our world\u2019s best chance at life. We need to \u201cappreciate the signal,\u201d though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WE SEE THE MAJOR RISING THREATS ALL OVER THE PLANET TODAY. That\u2019s our signal. It\u2019s to \u201cback off, look out, and take care,\u201d the most fundamental rule of STEERING. To survive, all new systems need to learn how to steer. All systems that survive growth are examples of the range of strategies that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s risky, like life, but even if the world has a bad slump, perhaps as inexperienced pilots make mistakes, the world getting the signal would largely assure keeping our world cultures intact. Going through a \u201cTower of Bable\u201d or \u201cdark age\u201d type collapse would not. We would need a kind global \u201cMarshall Plan\u201d to help the world\u2019s talents for organizing things, keep those talents, and put them to work on a new plan, caring for each other and making things work for and all around our fabulous new world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JLH – The world is on the move, but following the rule of growth that got us here, now causing crises, is not the path to our future. As all new life must,
it\u2019s time to back away from the edge and learn to steer. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
