“The Age of the Unthinkable” by Joshua Cooper Ramo, is the most exciting and optimistic book I have read in some time.
In it, Ramo depicts the scientific, political, historical moments which have introduced uncertainty into the world.
Dealing with uncertainty requires the ability to shift and change at a moment’s notice.
He brings the reader to the conclusion that successfully living from the personal level to the international level requires this ability.
It feels like it creates the most wonderful opportunity for each of us.
First, creating personal resilience is the best deep security we can provide for ourselves.
Secondly, volunteering and working in the community develops the relationships for creating deep security for our community.
You can see where this leads, to deep security by developing a strategy for larger groups, towns and cities of people who are all developing relationships with each other.
Instead of the slow weight of a top down organization, the best minds will be quick to respond with the groups and relationships with which they habitually function.
New, relevant ideas and strategies will be enacted with current resources.
The needs of the small and larger communities will be met quickly and responsibly.
Everyone involved will be monitoring the action to determine if it is working.
Schools will work better, utilities will be administered better, safety laws will be enforced better, food laws will meet the needs of the local population.
What needs do you see?
How can you act to help bring about the best local solutions?
