Changing the Game - Bypassing our current barriers for progress is now critical. Civil Unrest - Civil Disobedience - Environmental Catastrophes - VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of general conditions and situations) Society's inability to adapt to change, while contributing to impending risks and threats has put us in a very dangerous situation. Past methods and strategies have been ineffective. Those efforts that have been effective are too slow to positively impact our present situation. Then when we add the flooding of dis- and mis-information we have lost our ability to focus on a future we can mutually work toward. A Critical Task Force is essential with the ability to leapfrog or bypass the obstacles and resistance dynamics, capable of implementing a new #civilOS that strives to exist in harmony with the environment and support life in all of its forms. A overlay for a New Society and Civil Operating System is possible if the best tools are integrated for the built environment, social and governance systems, and economics. https://lnkd.in/gATUz7K7 #scholarswarning #breakdownwarning #CivilOS #NSFEngines Jem Bendell
Six hundred and seventy-four scholars from 53 countries, believe that “Only if policymakers begin to discuss this threat of societal collapse might communities and nations begin to prepare and so reduce its likelihood, speed, severity, harm to the most vulnerable, and to nature.” Each signatory, with doctoral degree, endorsed a public warning on societal disruption and collapse due to environmental change. They cover more than 20 major academic disciplines, including ecology and climatology, thereby conclusively demonstrating that preparations for societal collapse are being taken seriously by experts from around the world. The range of signatories demonstrates clearly that any scientists or commentators who claim that warnings and preparations for societal collapse are unscientifically fringe beliefs are either grossly misinformed or deliberately misleading. Editors, journalists, ‘factcheckers’ and ‘online safety groups’ who ignore or disparage such views when covering the topics of climate change, biodiversity loss, and energy futures, can now be challenged by readers, colleagues, funders and advertisers.
