Exactly, intensification or acceleration, this is exactly the root of most issues. Since we've mastered energy (and in particular oil&gas), the world has been on an acceleration binge, which is now causing a lot of friction and overheating in the relationships and environment.

We need to slow down and to connect back to nature

Slowing down is not a solution since we're heading for a wall in some dimensions and a cliff edge on others. We need to find ways to drastically change course.

We need to build maps and steering wheels.

    And we need to convince everyone to do it, or we just end up in the Red Queen scenario.

      Yeah, I do think that collective action problems summarize almost all of humanities problems though. So if we just found a way to efficiently make decisions as a collective we'd be in a much better situation.

      I might even suspect that solving collective action is the great filter that we have in front of us.
