Welcome to a compelling episode with Adam Day, Head of the UN University Centre for Policy Research in Geneva on his new book, "The Forever Crisis." In this engaging discussion, Adam introduces the concept of complex systems thinking, exploring its applicability to global governance and the pressing issues of our time.
Adam shares his journey from his role as a senior political advisor in Congo to his current position at the UN University's Center for Policy Research. He explains how his experiences led him to delve into the intricacies of complex systems and their unpredictable, yet not entirely unpredictable, nature.
The episode dives into key themes from Adam's book, including environmental governance, large-scale conflict resolution, cybersecurity, and the rise of artificial intelligence. He offers a critique of today's proposals for improving governance on global issues. Adam emphasizes the importance of moving away from linear thinking and top-down approaches, advocating instead for adaptive, networked solutions.
In a thought-provoking conclusion, Adam introduces the idea of a planetary immune system-a visionary concept aimed at addressing global challenges holistically. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in understanding and navigating the complexities of our world today.

    Solidarity is fine, I would love if everyone would get along with one another. But don't tell me how I have to live. But I keep hearing the U.N say its the would we want? Unfortunately no matter how hard one group trys you will never have a Utopian society, it won't happen. Then there is China? Do you think your going to get China to go along with your plans for the world? The answer is a absolute "No". Why don't you come up with a real plan to help people, instead of trying to rule the damn world and tell everyone how to live there lives? This is what happens when you get a bunch of over educated people working for one organization. Thank you anyways but I'm going to be keeping my sovereignty. Take care. Hawk out!!

    This Summit of the Future is pushing everyone to trust a global system while creating self-doubts, enabling conflicts among nuclear family members (creating mistrust among family members). In simple terms, don't trust yourself or your family BUT trust the global system. How do you say you want to protect diversity while killing the independence of communities, social groups, and countries?

    Bhahaha....I like the title of this video _"....Our Common Agenda..."_ don't know about anyone else, but this is definitely NOT my agenda that I have in common with these unelected narcissistic megalomaniacs who think that D.E.I., E.S.G, et al, will "save the planet". They are fools and the biggest hypocrites this planet has ever seen.

    2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 - _The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness._ Revelation 13:16-18 - _He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666_

      Yep. Another piece of the end time prophetic puzzle will be in place! Daniel chapter 9 Verse 27: "THEN HE SHALL CONFIRM A COVENANT WITH THE MANY for one week (7 years), But in the middle of the week (3 1/2 years) He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. (in the rebuilt Jewish temple in Jerusalem) And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” Emphasis and parentheses mine) Bottom line: This one world leader and all who follow him are TOAST! Come to Jesus now before it's too late folks.
