Zoom Transcription: https://otter.ai/s/whiByhP5TZCxMI1wtOctgw
If a catastrophe is an event which causes the loss of most expected value, a eucatastrophe is an event which causes there to be much more expected value after the event than before.
Currently, there may be a few unique opportunities to steer the COVID-19 crisis away from catastrophe toward eucatastrophe.
Some demand urgency given the speed with which the crisis is changing and the likely short time-window in which it will be possible to push for those ideas. The earlier we start exploring options, the better.
Foresight Hivemind is a three-weeks global online workshop to develop promising opportunities into action.
The goal is to grow a global community of contributors so that the ideas garner simultaneous support across the world.
We’ll have daily online salons in which focus groups screen one promising opportunity for change.
