How to make this decade the most creative and generative in human history.
Writing on the media platform Emerge, Jordan Hall, makes a powerful observation. At least at the narrative level we have reached the point that ‘defunding the police' is a real proposition. But rather than describe ways to redirect monies dedicated to policing, he goes deeper and suggests that policing is just one example of an institution that has grown into obsolescence.
"It is not stretching the truth to say that effectively all of our social institutions are a bad combination of corrupt and obsolete. Our education system. Our healthcare system. Our food production systems. Our banking and finance systems. Our journalism and science systems. Our political systems.
"They are all beyond the pale and they all should be defunded and redesigned."
And, being a systems thinker, he starts by highlighting the power of local experimentation first. This is a very hopeful read.
