Summary: 

Confused and inadequate conceptualizations lead to wrong-headed understandings.  Confused and wrongheaded understandings lead to well intended prescriptions which often make things worse.

Since our situation as a species on Earth is worse today than when CACOR was formed, it is not unreasonable to explore the possibility that as Modern Techno-Industrial (MTI) cultures we have been operating on the basis of confused and inadequate conceptualizations of the mess of living, complex messes we are in, a.k.a. “the human problematique.”

It is time to get clear about the root sources and nature of our troubles.  My intention is to do so in this presentation.
