The modern world has finally begun to wake up and acknowledge what wise elders in indigenous and traditional societies have been warning us about for centuries – The Metacrisis. A convergence of multiple crises that puts the future of humanity and millions of other species at a profound risk. A perfect storm that can sink our global Megamachine through a convergence of climate disruption, ecological breakdown, nuclear war, exponential technology (like AI), dizzying speed, scale and complexity, militant polarization along multiple fault lines, obscene wealth inequity, virulent pandemics, etc. The list is long and only a few of these need to align to set off a chain reaction that could tip us over the edge of extinction that we are currently teetering over. On our current trajectory, it’s only a matter of time. 

The Metacrisis can also be seen as an evolutionary challenge. An inflection point that demands that we consciously evolve if we are to avoid self-inflicted annihilation. Most (if not all) of the knowledge needed for our conscious evolution is already with us for millennia. The question is whether we will be able to unlearn our hubris and complacency and discover the sincere will critical for the adventure ahead.
