Now that we’ve built a bridge to leveraging our VUCA world instead of waging war on the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity that defines a cosmo-centric universe, it’s time to imagine the advantages that a long now approach can offer us. Such a world promises to look quite different from the structures and players that we are used to, but also holds the potential for solving long-standing issues around our blindness to transformational novelty, our false separation from nature, and our failure to recognize higher order purpose within the systems we birth and the communities we inhabit. Even Ripley might not believe it!
