We don't need a vision for the future. We're now in the post-vision phase. The onus on the frontal lobes to work out "how the world should be" is over. It's now about self honesty and emergents.
I'm looking! Seems like there are quite enough visions competing, whether corporate or new-age. A planetary super-organism is itself an emergent entity. It doesn't need a pre-frontal cortex to create a vision.
Today is 'World Wildlife Day'. Here is a wild idea; the conservation of our own species.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - R. Buckminster Fuller.
Hi Peter, I propose how we might do it in the book... Yes of course the US situation is no better. We need to evolve past a circumstance where one or a tiny group of deluded people can destroy the planet via nuclear weapons. Trump made me uneasy also.
I think there is a way to implement this plan... it requires a melding of top-down and bottom-up approaches to social change. We need a designed deconstruction of hierarchical and centralized control systems - a transition to decentralized "cosmo-localism," where power devolves to localities and bioregions over time. Just as we just designed suburbs and malls, or converted the planet to mass consumerism, "we" could organize a systemic transition to a different way of being. The first thing is to have a model in our minds of what we want and prefer. Then we can organize around the transition. I go into this in more depth in the book. Thanks for the question!

Well... I disagree. "Without a vision, the people perish." - Black Elk
The post-vision phase applies equally to new age-spiritual ideas of "how the world should be" as to those of the World Economic Forum!
Why should people perish without a vision?
Look around you.

Hi Eric, I think we discussed this... Where have you gotten to with this project?
sounds familiar!
