Essential Wisdom #2/5—Choice-creating

This video is part #2 —Choice-creating —of a five part seminar on: "Essential Wisdom for solving society’s biggest problems”. The 5-part seminar describes a "solution" strategy to most all of society's biggest problems at once. Actually, because it affects the whole system and a multitude of issues, we call it a "holution" instead of a solution. ... It's how we can facilitate all the people to come together, face our most pressing, impossible-seeming issues —e.g. global climate change, the rise of authoritarianism, money-in-politics, structural racism, etc.— and reach shared conclusions about what is going on and what to do. So here's a way to a) develop a shared understanding of the problem, a vision of what we want, and a committed strategy going forward; b) also of course, we are facilitating the people to work together; c) and a transformation of the system (i.e. governance, economics, culture, etc.). To recognize how this "holution" works requires what we call "Essential Wisdom”, described in five sessions. Session 1) Facilitation ... this is a departure from top-down or bottom-up solution approaches, as we spark the system to transform itself; 2) Choice-creating .... Here's the creative quality of thinking by impossible problems can be solved. It's the magic sauce for this approach.; 3) Dynamic Facilitation ... Here's how we can reliably evoke "choice-creating” for individuals and small groups; 4) The Wisdom Council Process ... Here's how we can facilitate large systems of people into the spirit of choice-creating; 5) Society's Breakthrough … Here's how we (just us) might use these tools to transform the global/national System of which we are a part: governance, capitalism, culture, “human nature", etc. … From watching and understanding these video segments of "Essential Wisdom", hopefully the viewer responds with excitement: "THIS MUST HAPPEN! AN I HELP? HOW CAN I HELP?" (For more information see www.WiseDemocracy.org) … Jim Rough is a social innovator and seminar leader. He is author of "Society’s Breakthrough!
