Researcher into sense-making, systems and futurism

This is an attempt to explain profound changes in the world through the lens of Systems Thinking. In particular, this touches on coherence as a principle that is a necessary pre-condition for legitimacy and validation of systems. Contradictions, paradoxes, inferior logic all present themselves as an opportunity for someone to challenge the legitimacy—and that’s exactly what’s been happening with the world. Most other framings are really talking about manifestations of this phenomenon and are not dealing with root cause. I’m writing a series of article on this topic—all to do with sense-making, blindspots and mystification.
One could argue that ownership is a concept used for future-proofing. A way to “mortgage” our future in an ever-changing world. It provides a basis for longer-term strategic actions by ensuring permanence and durability of conditions and choosing the right strategies. It’s also psychologically important because it removes anxiety and hyper vigilance or a related PTSD. Maybe it’s worth just for the clarity knowing whether one owns or not—instead of irrational ambiguity. I wonder what would be a “working” alternative to ownership? Resources are limited.
