Thinking

We perceive some things as good and others as bad. Our habits related to hygiene, necessary infrastructure and school/work/travel/retirement rule our lives. Our personalities are huge sets of habits. How to make them more sustainable? How to use good intents to make more positive results than unwanted damage?

We can't solve the problems the same way we have caused them (political reality, business as usual). Also, if we react and not anticipate, whatever we do it will be too late.

Our frame of mind causes environmental destruction. We must look for the origins of our unsunstainable behaviour not at the beginning of industrial age but much further into the past. We have lost the ability to grasp interconnected and dynamic (ever-changing) processes in nature. Everything has its beginning, growth, decreasing and ending. If we are born in a specific era and relatively slow (anything that takes days and years to change is slow for us) changes make us believe that the current situation (global growth of economy and population) will last forever. We must bear this fact in minds if we really want to see how the reality looks and what to expect from it. We are supposed to be better informed people than our ancestors who were not able to accept the fact that the world is round. It seems inevitable that the majority of people (at least of those capable to really do something that matters) will hesitate to risk.

This meshwork is just like any other tool that helps us remember and think - such as language, letters, things and events that evoke emotions etc. Everyone can read this comment. From now on its life doesn't depend on me, it's not only mine. Let the external world do a part of your thinking.

Hunters/gatherers, nomads and people living in organized societies see the same reality differently. The "necessity" of eternal economic growth and fragmented labour is still new. It caused a war when it didn't work as expected.
