#693276 — A New Way to Think About Solving the World’s Biggest Problems

Back in 1998, I was having a Sunday lunch with my family and we were 
discussing climate change because the kids were covering it at school. 
Afterwards, my Mum unexpectedly confronted me with a question: what 
would you do about it? Her disarming directness had a strange effect 
because, almost from nowhere, I responded that “it would have to happen 
simultaneously”. All, or nearly all, nations would have to act 
simultaneously.

That must have been why ... /sarc

Kids aren't "covering" climate change in schools today?

You're posting today about an insignificant event from 20 years ago
... because?

Is she usually evasive or obscure?

Does the parental example explain some posts in this group?

>had a strange effect 

Is that strange effect persisting 20 years later?

"it" what?

>All, or nearly all, nations would have to act 
>simultaneously.

How is wanting to control the world a "new way to think?"

If the thought is from a family gathering 20 years ago, it isn't
"new."

Why would controlling the world solve "the world’s biggest problems"
(plural)?

"Act" in what way?

If all nations implemented genocide simultanteously, then there would
be no safe haven. That would most effective, right?

Inscriptions
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with
nature.

"Maintain" by what means?

Again, not a "new way to think."

kensi, you need to give more context.

This was from the interview, stated by one of the authors,

this might have been a better excerpt from the interview

Nick Duffell:
"John then read an early draft of my 2014 book
 Wounded Leaders, about the psychology of the UK
 political scene, whereupon he invited me to co-author
 The SIMPOL Solution. My main task was to set out
 the psychological resistance to the idea, which
 involved going quite deeply into identity issues
 and the psychology of denial. It was especially
 important to show how environmentalists failed
 to pick up the idea because of their entrenched
 identity position of being the ‘good guys’ against
 the ‘bad guys’."

Looks like Duffel has been watching this group!

I thought this was how to think about the world's biggest problems....not 
the world's biggest hoax.
