11. Humanity is at a critical juncture. What is needed is as
straightforward as it is profound. Our global civilization needs a
new operating system, and fast. (…) The very same ways of
thinking that brought about the industrial age and made possible
many of our advancements, have also fueled the myriad crises
that are now converging upon us.

23. LOOKING THROUGH NEW EYES
navigating an unknown world
If we are suffering from the crash of our old institutions, we are also
pioneering a new civilization. That means living with high uncertainty.
It means expecting disequilbria and upset. And it means no one has

27. you may forget everything I just said,
IF YOU JUST REMEMBER THESE 5 THINGS:
!
(*) networks are replacing industrial models
(*) different set of values and structural characteristics
(*) be inspired by working models of disruption
(*) we are pioneering a new civilization, it’s a hero’s journey
(*) in times high uncertainty, try and aim to be antifragile

28. We are optimistic because we know it
can be done. We know a whole world
of pressing problems can be
improved by peer networks, digital or
analog, local or global. (…) That is a
future worth looking forward to. Now
is the time to invent it.
