Seminal collapsitarian writing, calling for paradigm shift in the form of consciousness shift in society - from 'problem solvable' to 'situation negotiable.' He labels the stages of awakening in a rational way.

Mentions critical thinkers who have the consciousness awakening, like Korten et al.

Key Notes

• 5 stages of consciousness - Ladder of Awareness [1]:

1. Sleepwalking - no problem!
2. There is some problem. But, some political or tech fix will provide a remedy. I pick one and be fervent about it.
3. There are multiple problems. I pick priorities, as others could detract from core.
4. There is a complex situation. Beginning of systems thinking. Problems are connected and fixing one may worsen another.
5. Everythingbis connected, and life-work integration occurs. Unleashed - unleash consideration of everything. Chefurka mentions here that 'any solution is discarded here as wasted effort.' What does author mean by that?
