It's become common sense: Our civilization is not sustainable

Today, most of us seem to recognize that human society is experiencing a crisis. As currently organized it's not sustainable, in overshoot and heading for collapse. "Monster Problems" like those below are arising as symptoms
  1. Climate crisis ... See solving the climate crisis
  2. L-curve distribution of wealth and power ... This makes democracy impossible
  3. The resurgence of Authoritarian leaders ... i.e. They seek to shift the System backward, from Box to Triangle 
  4. Destroying the commons ... e.g.  Fish resources, fresh water, biodiversity, forests, soil, pollution, etc.
  5. Pandemics ... e.g. Covid 19
These Monster Problems arise from the underlying structure of our System (governance, economics, culture, etc.) and how it no longer fits our collective situation (i.e. Today, we are exceeding the carrying capacity of our planet). So normal "solutions," available action strategies our System provides, cannot solve these problems. ... However it is possible to FACILITATE our System to transform itself. (See “A ‘Holution’ for the Human Predicament,")

 The "Monster Wish" 

Wishing for change is an under-utilized human capability. ... Please, make a wish as BIG as you can, an actionable way by which we can solve all these problems.

I wish ...........................................................................................................................

Below is our wish for society. We call it the "Monster Wish" because ... 1) It encompasses most all the wishes people express;  2) It provides a way we can face and solve each "Monster Problem"; and 3) It offers a way to transform the underlying structure of our System to a higher level, from Box to Circle.  
The Monster Wish ...
That we (just us) can convene a new global conversation where “all” the people come together respectfully, face each Monster Issue and co-create shared perspectives on what is happening, what we want, and what solutions to pursue; where We think creatively together as “We the People” and achieve breakthrough progress on each issue; where We provide wise leadership to elected officials, corporations and the culture; where this added “We the People” conversation sparks a new System of “wise democracy” and “holistic economics”; and where each person gains increased awareness, understanding, freedom, consciousness and empowerment.
Most people see this as "just wishful thinking". .... But now we know that this ... and more ... can be facilitated into being through "Society's Breakthrough."

Society's Breakthrough

Society's Breakthrough is one of four social innovations that are all interlinked: 1) choice-creating, 2) Dynamic Facilitation, the  3) Wisdom Council Process and 4) Society's Breakthrough.  ... Basically, Society's Breakthrough is just a simple set of actions ... 8 steps.  ... 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.
