The current coordination doesn't seem to be enough to address the increasing negative climate change statistics and the metacrisis when we look at the current statistics. What are the current core causes of the climate problems? Corporations with big power capital having the most systemic influence maximizing profits short term individually (as in, not caring about the whole humanity), caring just for themselves in polarized competetive dynamics. What are the solutions? What strategies do we have? Spread the message? Fixing symptoms such as carbon extraction from athmosphere, polution extraction, helping biosphere in other ways? Fixing its causes? Make cheaper and better green technologies in science and practice? We can transform the internal structure of the corporations. Use peaceful cooperative dialog in attempt to transform them? Science lecture inside them? Beat them economically by winning over them in competition? Create less psychopathic more compassionate and more globally morally caring corporations winning over them. Make green technologies more economically viable. Use language of money more? Use economical and political pressure on those psychopathic agents. Santions? Altruistic financing? Use civil unrest pressure. Or damage them? Use violence? Or erase them?

Systemic revolution of steering our humanity superorganism away from selftermination with those cancerous cells slowly killing its host From the perspective of moral responsibility for all of humanity, all of current and future generations and looking at current climate reports I would say we need to globally as humanity act more to minimize the acceleration and existing destructive effects of climate change as the current priority (you also have other crisises like mental health, loneliness, energy crisis, overall metacrisis with sensemaking, education etc., or potential risks including nuclear, pandemics, nanoweapons, bioweapons, artificial intelligence (full of lots of perspectives), volcanoes,...).

Systemic revolution of steering our humanity superorganism away from selftermination with those cancerous cells slowly killing its host into a system not based on such strong psychopathic competetion? Attempt to rebuild society on collective meaning? But would that be enough force to stop the current strongest cancerous power structures screwing it up for everyone? Strenghten regulations? Strenghten global top down governance such as United Nations? That will create civil unrest from the psychopathic people and corperations (which already happens a lot), but if language of cooperation and peaceful dialog isnt enough, what then is enough? Are AI technologies accelerating it even more? Certain degree of competetion and arms races is evolutionary good and has certain advantages, like technological innovation, but too much of it leads us to those multipolar traps. Is peace enough? Is violence needed? Could violence lead to accelerated selftermination and disconnection instead of cultivation of culture of connection and harmony and resolving conflicting parts not aligned with the collective wellbeing? We dont want opression like in Russia, or chaos like in Somalia, we want something third that benefits the longterm wellbeing of humanity! Strong education about all of this? Culture of compassion and connection? Liquid democracy? Communes? Degrowth? What are other possible strategies? What are the most optimal combinations of those strategies to create the chances of the most efficient collective long term wellbeing, survival and flourishing? All of attempts individually add up into one giant force of care for all current and future generations! I believe we will succeed when we join forces together effectively! [AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023]([AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023]([AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023]([AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023]([AR6 Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023](https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/))))) Raw capitalism creates an evolutionary pressure/incentive/objective function of raw profits, incentives that go against what feels good to most people. Money on money dynamics even more. You can use top down restrictions to maximize chances of collective survival, increase collective long term wellbeing and meaning, but its not given that governing structure will be aligned with values of people, wellbeing etc., so it needs to be checked via for example multiple governing structures or ideally by democracy. To avoid lots of meaning and wellbeing and theory of governance issues when electing, we need education of people in those issues, not being stuck in one world view with focused attention, aligning values of the governing parts with the layman compatible with wellbeing/risks science. Power check and reduce psychopathic agents by culture of connection and compassion? Gene editing to enhance compassion? Can laymen people even be systematically thaught these complex topics, is that realistic? Or is the only solution some strong enough evolutionary pressure on the structue of the system from wellbeing, existencial risk, etc. scientists? Some kind or technocracy? That needs power and corruption checking too. How to approximately evaluate expertise to minimize psychopathic agents? Some academic system that isnt as broken as current academic system? And who checks that? Some metascientists/metagovernaning structures? Who checks that? Do we need antimoloch God under everything tonescape this loop? How to avoid psychopathic evolutionary pressures? Is centralized power fundamentally doomed? Degrowth? Decentralized independent donbar number communes only? Does that halt collective action against for example climate change? How to prevent tribal wars? Is that even possible with current total interdependence? Does current system halt efficient collective action as well? Somewhere yes in some problems (EU climate) somewhere not (USA) (collective sensemaking and wellbeing), but not globally, and we have the metacrisis. Can gametheoretically stable "ideal" system equivalent to benevolent illuminati Gods controling everything for long term survival and wellbeing of the people even exist? There is also issue of plurality of existing moral/ethical etc. systems. Respect or try to reform those dynamics or some middle way? There is also the issue of plurality of models of wellbeing and risks and that also come from plularity of values. Can we synthetize them? Create evolutionary selection dynamics between them measured by their success? Minimize friction between them in an ecosystem where they interact? How about plurality of methods quantifying and measuring success? All this prediction and measuring stuff also takes tons of computational power and complexity that might be incomprehensible, we must approximate and select various comprehensible factors like in climate science. What are the best approximator factors to look for in the system? We're back at the issue of plurality. If we go from theory back to practice and editing what we already have, how to create the most efficient set of evolutionary pressures to steer the current system's structure more towards wellbeing and risk mitigation? Strengthten effective altruism education and influence? Excess of competition/rivarly and order is behind the metacrisis?
