"Disruption Pandemic" shows how our legacy OS is dysfunctional and urgently needs a total overhaul—and how unleashing viral innovation can bring us to the tipping point faster. Presented at MIND Leaders Live series on May 30, 2020.
[POLL on How are you feeling? and How do you feel about the future of the planet?] We are in the middle of a DISRUPTION PANDEMIC
Planet Earth, we have an Emergency
The diagnosis: Earth’s OS has GONE ROGUE; it has become dysfunctional and self-destructive
The remedy: patching it no longer works, it needs a complete redesign & replacement
Virus lockdown has shown us WHAT IT CAN LOOK LIKE
It shows us that IT CAN BE DONE, of course with a gun to our head [POLL: Optimistic? Pessimistic? Don’t know?]
What’s stopping us? OURSELVES, our human mind – how we perceive, evaluate and make decisions
We too, have a prehistoric & obsolete OS at whose base are defensive and defective mental models – that drive >95% of our behaviour
Our OS contains a vast number of cognitive biases, that trigger and feed our self-destructive HABITS – and make us DOGMATIC
For example: Is this what we signed up for, as a species? If we KNOW this isn’t what we want, WHY do we still keep propagating it?
As you may guess, it’s not easy to replace our OS while it’s still running, and without a new one to replace it with, so it's an uphill task UNTIL we reach the Tipping Point. Here is my 4-ships model to take us there – let’s review where we stand?
1:53 MUJICA VIDEO: What we lack is an adaptive, evolving and future-focussed POLITICAL LEADERSHIP that can lead us to a sustainable and harmonious state [POLL: Do we need visionary leaders?] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mho_usZDgls)
As Citizens (and consumers), we need to proactively DEMAND our right to live with AUTHENTIC goals and values
On the R&D/TECH front, good news is we technically know exactly what we need to be doing – it’s called a CIRCULAR ECONOMY. We have excellent models, inspired from nature, ready to implement.
We have community-level solutions that can be applied immediately and at scale. We have a suite of technologies that can be deployed at the individual level. We have blueprints for every region and climate.
Best of all: we know how to achieve this WITHOUT force or violence, using DESIRABILITY to change our self-destructive habits & behaviour
1:47 FUN THEORY : We know how to make GOOD HABITS a fun option (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SByymar3bds)
We aren’t very far from the TIPPING POINT – after which, change will occur with very little effort [POLL: Can we attain Tipping Point?]
What we need are INNOVATION CHAMPIONS, energetic change-makers to re-tool our planet’s OS, piece by piece, area by area

2:25 DAILY DUMP (extracted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSMQN4_fHS8 START 3:53, END 6:18)
And like a TEAM of musicians, we can ORCHESTRATE change by playing TOGETHER rather than COMPETING! [POLL: would you like to join a community of creative change-makers?] A+S to discuss poll results & open for Q&A
