All Change or No Change? Culture, Power and Activism in an Unquiet World, Part I

1 February 2017 1 Comment

This is the first article in a three-part series being co-published between Occupy.com and Transnational Institute.... "In this essay, we approach the world from a whole-system perspective. This means looking at those rules, laws, norms and trends that affect the whole planet, rather than any individual nation, region or issue. When you stand back far enough, it becomes clear that dramas of 2016, though vitally important, are nothing like as profound as many are suggesting. In truth, the core … Continue reading

One Earth, Two Social Fields | Otto Scharmer

26 July 2016 Leave a Comment

Otto Scharmer explains how global politics and world economic affairs today emerge from the interplay between two social fields: absencing (the cycle of destruction); and presencing (the cycle of co-creation). "Today it feels as if we—everyone alive right now—are living in a “plastic hour” of history, meaning that small differences today can have major impacts tomorrow. Both of the forces that shaped the past century—presencing and absencing—are intensifying their global presence now. "History … Continue reading
