The Human Predicament
Today, most of us seem to recognize that human society is not sustainable. We are in OVERSHOOT consuming planetary resources much faster than they can be replenished, heading toward collapse. Many "Monster Problems" like those below arise as symptoms:
People are increasingly aware of this "human predicament" but don't know what to do about it. Instead, they seek to address address each Monster Problem using "normal solutions" like education, modeling the new system at small scale, raising consciousness, influencing "decision-makers," street demonstrations, etc. These are the action strategies our System provides, but since the Monster Problems are ultimately caused by the System itself, they cannot work. . ...See the article “A ‘Holution’ for the Human Predicament," and/or the 28 min video "Global Earth Repair requires System Transformation."

That we (just us) can convene a global conversation where “all” the people come together respectfully, face Monster Problems (e.g. the climate crisis) and co-create shared perspectives on what is the truth, what we want, and what is the best strategy to pursue; where this new “We the People” conversation achieves breakthrough progress on each issue and provides wise leadership to elected officials, corporations and the culture; and where this new conversation is ongoing so that it structures a new System of “wise democracy” and “equitable economics”; and where each person gains increased awareness, understanding, freedom, consciousness, empowerment and healing.

The Wisdom Council Process can be implemented globally in a way that can facilitate accomplishing this Monster Wish. We call this global (and/or national) application of the Wisdom Council Process: "Society's Breakthrough."
We can use Society's Breakthrough to accomplish the Monster Wish
Society's Breakthrough can be implemented with a simple set of actions ... 8 steps. It is a combination of the five elements of Essential Wisdom for Solving Society's Biggest Problems ... ... Below is a short cartoon video introducing Society's Breakthrough and describing one way that we (Just Us) might set it up: as a reality TV Show.
Also, below is a video, “Post Doom meets Society's Breakthrough”, where Jim Rough is interviewed by Michael Dowd, a well-known theologian whose current message centers on the immanent biospheric and civilizational collapse, helping people to stay sane, sober and inspired in accepting this reality. Jim is championing Society’s Breakthrough applied globally, a way by which we (a few of us) can facilitate global transformation.
