The Human Predicament
Today, increasing numbers of us recognize that human society is not sustainable. We are in OVERSHOOT consuming planetary resources much faster than they can be replenished, heading toward either dystopia or collapse. Consequently many "Monster Problems" like those below are arising:
Fortunately many people are trying to solve each Monster Issue using the "normal solutions" our System provides — e.g. education, modeling a new system at small scale, raising consciousness, influencing decision-makers, street demonstrations, etc. But since the Monster Problems are ultimately caused by the System, these solutions can only address the symptoms, not the actual cause. What's needed isn't so much a "solution" to the problem, but a "holution" to the underlying "human predicament". ...See the article “A ‘Holution’ for the Human Predicament," and/or the 28 min video "Global Earth Repair requires System Transformation."
- Climate crisis ... See solving the climate crisis
- Worsening "L-curve" distribution of wealth and power
- The resurgence of Authoritarian leaders ... Seeking to shift the System backward from Box to Triangle
- The Tragedy of the commons ... e.g. Fish resources, fresh water, biodiversity, forests, soil, pollution, trust-levels, etc.
- Pandemics ... e.g. Covid 19

Good news: You make your biggest wish ... we think it can be achieved. Actually, we think our wish is bigger than yours ... and that wish can be achieved.
Wishing is an under-utilized human capability. Please, make a wish as BIG as you can to overcome the Human Predicament.

That we (just us) can convene a global conversation where “all” the people come together respectfully, face each Monster Problem (e.g. the climate crisis or the mal-distribution of wealth and power) and co-create shared perspectives on what is the truth, what we all want, and what is the best strategy going forward; where this new “We the People” conversation achieves breakthrough progress on each issue and provides wise leadership to government officials, corporations and the culture; and where this new conversation is ongoing—where the existence of this new conversation, by itself, is a restructuring of our global System to become a “wise democracy” and new form of economics; and where each person gains increased awareness, understanding, freedom, consciousness, empowerment and healing.

We believe the Wisdom Council Process can be implemented globally to realize this Monster Wish. We call this global application of the Wisdom Council Process: "Society's Breakthrough."
Society's Breakthrough can accomplish the Monster Wish
Society's Breakthrough is a simple set of actions ... 8 steps that we (Just Us) can implement. Below is a short cartoon video describing one way that we might set it up—as a reality TV Show.
Also, below is a video where Jim Rough is interviewed by Michael Dowd, the originator of Post Doom. Michael is 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 that we can facilitate a new level of collective response to the Human Predicament.
