The list and discussion concentrates on 'things', electric this and that, transport networks etc. These are impt, but not as impt as our THINKING about them. The Gov failure that is criminal is a failure to think differently and provide the vehicles (pun intended) to do so. Where are the public discussions? The climate assemblies? The confronting of our expectations with the realities of change - both +ve and -ve (better health, cheaper, more circular, community focused, but less 'stuff'). As Donella Meadows points out, the largest leverage points in a system are at the level of paradigm, not the level of things or even rules. https://donellameadows.org/archives/leverage-points-places-to-intervene-in-a-system/

I'm gob-smacked at how long we've been building houses that are often too huge on land that is barely suitable for a chicken coop. Its seems to be an odd fashion, a status symbol. It is indeed our brains, our thinking, that needs a systems change.
