Era of Event Horizons and Bottlenecks

The planetary boundaries framework is useful for understanding where we’re at in terms of our relationship to the natural world.
There are biophysical thresholds (defined not by humans, but by the biophysical reality we inhabit) that we’d do well not to surpass.
We’ve passed 6 of the 9 planetary boundaries as they’re defined by the Stockholm Resilience Centre. We may have already initiated ecological catastrophe cascades that will prove unstoppable at some point in the future (think positive feedback of methane release from Arctic ice sheets, for example.)
That being said, we may not (yet!) have locked in an unstoppable ecological catastrophe cascade.

I see no better stimulus for realising as much of each individual human’s potential than our current dire ecological situation.
The world is now calling forth the absolute best of human creative potential.
Will we step up to the plate?
