| Hey, thanks for coming, if we have contacted you directly it's because we think you might be able to help. It may be that a collapse of our current societal organisation is inevitable, but perhaps here we can nurture a seed of a parallel system. This site is not being edited by a particular person but by BurnZero, the name of the anonymous collective editing it. The site consists of the ideas that we believe might be able to help us, these ideas are presented in an editable Wiki (much the same format as Wikipedia) format. Anyone can change the text by registering an account, which will record your IP in the revision history (much the same as a blockchain). We invite you to read what is below, if you would like to jump in a change something immediately please do so however, alternatively, if you would like to make anonymous suggestions use the Cryptopad below or register an account using a VPN. All changes will be reviewed by the collective and published if agreed upon. If you need help with this click here. |
In health care, when a doctor is presented with a patient who is complaining of an ailment say an infection, they do not just treat the symptoms of the infection but look further for the root cause. Say for instance a patient comes to the doctor and says they have a fever, a stomach ache and a rash, the best doctor will not just treat the individual symptoms but look for what is causing them. The same could be said for the ecological crisis that we now face. The key symptoms are:
- Chemical pollution
- Ocean acidification
- Ozone depletion
- Nitrogen cycle failure
- Phosphorous cycle failure
- Freshwater overuse
- Deforestation
- Biodiversity loss
As a society we can look at these problems and try fix them one by one, however they are small holes in a boat which stems from one source. There are many reasons why we have not been able to cure this however, new research in psychological fallacies have found specific heuristics and cognitive biases which stop us from breaking the problem down.
