What's coming:
 OVERVIEW
  What's Needed
  What's in the Way
  Clearing What's in the Way
  First Steps
  Self-Help for Navigating These Turbulent Waters

The essentials: RECONFIGURATIONS
 definition: 
  Reconfiguration
   changing intended results of action
   changing how we cause those results: new directions
  These measures are more than any one individual can undertake and in hearing them, you may feel
   a sense of "overwhelm".
   You'll know why certain political candidates have these measures their plans,
    once elected.


 Education 
 Health Care
 Environmental Protection
 Circulation of Wealth
  money, like blood, functions by circulating, not by pooling
 
 Fair Politics
  honesty/transparency
  service orientation rather than self-service orientation

What's in the Way:

 Pooling of Wealth:
  what happens when it pools: 
   vulnerability to clotting: unworkability, breakdowns of systems 
   obesity: fat cats
   a diabetic economy: sluggishness, loss of ability to function, stress, social blindness 
    ("out of touch" government)
   chronic diseases (poverty and hunger), shock (crime and wars)

 Lazy complacency
  "It hasn't hit yet." It has.

 Lack of imagination how it could be better than it is. Memory dominating imagination.
  Preferring the known status quo over the unknown reconfiguration.
  Feeling more at home with the status quo than with reconfiguration.
  
The clearings:
 Recognition that "The biggest problem could have been solved when it was small."
 
 Exercising foresight
  Foresight requires imagination.
  Cultivating and rewarding foresight.

 Using imagination to "bootstrap" an appetite for reconfiguration.
  definition: "bootstrap"  like the "pilot chute of a parachute"

 Reconfiguring and expanding education to cultivate imagination equally with memory

 Reconfiguring health care to emphasize health maintenance vs. treatment of disease.
  lighten the financial burden on society that bad health causes
   reducing the need for pharmaceutical drugs
  improving the vital capacity to meet the challenges

 Returning pooled wealth into circulation
  fulfilling the promise of Trick-Down Theory
  reducing drug abuse (self-medication)
  reducing stress-inducted disorders

  curbing Abuse of Capitalism
   pooling of wealth (physiological metaphor)
   environmental degradation

 Expelling those in the power structure, anywhere in the world, who obstruct truth or right action -- stripping control from their hands through both conventional means (such as elections) and unconventional means (such as personal ostracism, boycotts, promotion of healthy values and denigration of unhealthy or counterproductive values through social media and the entertainment media 

FIRST STEP:
 Putting attention on imagining each of the "clearing" steps needed -- one at a time -- using the notes published along with this video.

 Creating public consensus.
  Confronting hold-outs.
  Redirecting resources:
   attention
   money

 Creating communications that extend the reach of this video.

DEFINITION OF INSANITY:  Habitually resorting to what is unwholesome or disturbing to avoid facing actual conditions.

A few words, for the wise, is sufficient.

The ostrich who puts its head in the sand to avoid facing danger gets eaten.
