Our society’s individualism, largely driven by technological advances and the illusion of endless progress, will no longer be sustainable – will not be able to last – in a world where anthropogenic climate change is a constant and growing threat.

But I think we recognise that. I think, like the 60’s, we are moving towards cultic business models again, because we are sensing what is going to be required of us.

If you don’t do the thinking, the thinking will be done for you.
