Meditation on Metacrisis
An empirical study into the plausibility of Metacrisis, and recommendations for adapting to the emerging property of the present.
Summary
This publication is a result of our Core Research Module’s study into metacrisis - what it is, and what it means.
We found that not only are we living through a time of intensifying and compounding planetary crises, but there are indications that the crisis multiplex is entering a synchronous state of activity. We are led to the conclusion that the multitude of ecological, economic, geopolitical, cultural, and psychological crises are interrelated, and in a sense, indistinguishable from one another.
This takes us deeper into the investigation. We invite myth to help us materialize the emergent form of metacrisis, and furthermore, look inward to consider its root causes.
We encourage you to read this work free of distractions, preferably on an e-reader in a spacious moment of clarity and reception.
This work is available free of charge in PDF, EPUB, and Online View. However, if you are able to, we encourage you to make a contribution while you download, and support a future of planetary flourishing.
Selected Quotations
“While compartmentalizing the above list of global crises creates neat categories with even neater thematic subdivisions, it obscures the deeper nature of these crises. None of these crises can effectively be viewed in isolation. They are all deeply intertwined with one another.”
“H. Sapiens today is ineffective at engaging with the externalities of metacrisis because we still have not identified the appropriate paradigm which accurately grasps metacrisis.”
“There is a missing ingredient - a special cultural glue - which can bring all the disjunctive abilities of H. Sapiens into a unified harmonic polycenter.”
