being able to recognize a double bind is wonderful it's a really good thing to know how to do 01:16:29 um like I said it won't solve it for you but it will keep it from tearing you in half and that's something yeah so generally you have to do a jump 01:16:40 or come from another context the response to double bind is never on either side of the bind like never which is so hard in a culture that is 01:16:54 completely committed to linear strategic change making and solving if the if the solution looks nothing like the problem

the individuals are carrying the load for the poly crisis

this is what happens when we don't tend to the whole um 00:28:38 things break the responses that get made get made to one part at a time and then those responses create more problems right so if you say okay we have to 00:28:57 address the climate change problem so clearly we have to stop producing carbon okay but um that sends the economy into complete failure

some people refer to the multiple contextual crises of this era as a poly 00:26:28 crisis some people refer to it as a meta crisis I prefer poly crisis but we won't get into that discussion today and this is what happens when 00:26:42 for a century and a half we have decontextualized our perception of the world and education is separated from politics 00:26:55 is separated from economics is separated from family is separated from ecology or the environment and now we have crises 00:27:06 looming and we have environmental crises we have got crises in the education system we've got crisis in the health systems

every time we try to pick at one piece of this polycrisis we end up actually creating problems in other contexts
