“ When our normal or 'rational' ways of inhabiting the Earth have pushed us past six out of nine planetary limits, we've reached the point where all our processes should be up for reconsideration. The World Around is an unprecedented and powerful forum to discuss this, and for these ideas to reach a broader audience. One well beyond the realms of the technical disciplines that involve doing it. This socialization is key to enable necessary change.”
