As sociobiologist-turned-change agent Rebecca Costa writes, “To finally answer the question [of] why human beings compulsively follow the same pattern of collapse again and again and again, we must come to terms with how we are wired to behave, irrespective of nationality, race, intelligence, wealth, or political convenience.” Fortunately, she also asserts that “signs of a cognitive threshold begin appearing long before collapse, so there is ample time to act.” Costa’s solution is to focus on cultivating the power of insight, using such tools as working in small groups, emphasizing brain fitness, training for innovation, elevating the role of play, “collaborating with complexity,” and practicing present-moment mindfulness.
