Joe, I’ve recently discovered your work and am eagerly going through all your writings. I totally get that cultural evolution is what’s required and I love your idea of Culture Design Labs. What I think is missing (and I admit I haven’t read all of your writing yet, so maybe you cover this) is a new story — one which will be read and embraced by people born after 1984, since these are the planet’s future leaders. It’s unlikely that a sufficiently large mass of them will read through the research produced by the CES, and it’s unlikely that education systems will evolve quickly enough, so what’s needed is a kind of meta-summary for the masses. Is this on the cards?
In my own small way, I am starting one version of that story, by describing what life is like in 2035, using a mix of fact and fiction — faction. I’m very open to any suggestions you might have as to how I ensure an alignment of the story to the work the CES is doing.
