Reinventing the System, Healing the Trauma

In 2021 we are living in the exit turbulence of late-stage capitalism, where our attempts to drive never-ending economic growth and materialism on a planet with finite resources have become the new definition of insanity. The idea of “success” that costs the earth is a performative contradiction. Yet as a species we seem to be sleepwalking toward that particular cliff edge despite 60 years of environmentalism, protests, and the rise of Generation Z global school strikers where millions of teenagers called us out for destroying their future- before Covid19 brought that even closer to home and jeopardized their education.

Welcome to this article, the third in a series of five. In Part 3 — Reinventing the System, Healing the Trauma we examine what we can do in these traumatic times to stay sane and get better while reinventing the systems that created the mess in the first place.

In Part 4 — The Global Transition Model we will dig deeper into how human societies evolve, and how the Global Transition Model dramatically simplifies what is happening now, and what comes next.

In Part 5 — Effective Regenerative Responses: 7 Fractal Acupuncture Points we’ll investigate the interconnected set of responses we must activate now to design and build regenerative futures that work for all of us and our planet.
