Time Blind Book 2 (Paperback)

Paperback. After coming to the understanding presented in Time Blind Book 1 that civilization cannot survive without rapid population decline, the next question becomes: how do we implement RPD and what are civilization's next steps?In Time Blind Book 2: The Path Forward, Jack Alpert takes readers beyond diagnosis and into design. This sequel explores the only two viable mechanisms that could produce the global no-child behavior needed to reduce humanity to 50 million by the year 2100. This book explains why all other methods, no matter how well-intentioned, fail to scale or act in time.To avoid collapse and create a sustainable future, we must also build something new. Alpert describes how to design non-injury-producing civilizations. These would be three city / states that could lifeboat humanity through the next several centuries. Simultaneously, they would dismantle the toxic legacy of today's infrastructure.Structured around the imperatives of designing the new city / states and then constructing them, this book invites readers to ask: because I'm one of the 8 billion in the exiting community, what role will I play in the 80-year transition to establish the emerging community?Will you help design the lifeboats? Or will you help construct them?Time Blind Book 2: The Path Forward is the second of five books in the Time Blind series. This body of work emerges from fifty years of cognitive science and systems thinking. Together, the Time Blind book series challenges us to see differently, This item is printed on demand.
