In the past I have advocated for positions such as individual privacy, copyright reform, government transparency, whistleblower protections, drug law reform and democratic initiatives such as citizen’s assemblies and citizen initiated referenda. Today, rather than focussing on specific policies, my preference is to engage in whole-of-system change towards a more process oriented mindset. This is inspired by the growing series of crises that we face as a species and threaten our future: crises such as economic collapse, loss of the biosphere, global nuclear war, climate change, and the meaning crisis. The meaning crisis is the culmination of these and manifests itself partially as a growth in nihilism and loneliness throughout developed societies.
But the long term change is shifting towards process based thinking, rather than static systems and short-termism. We should not be thinking just about people today but into the far future for the lives of the untold generations not yet born.
