Thank you Adrian. I agree with #2, and indeed, part of our reslience will have to be adapting be dealing with those who can’t be reasoned with and are ready to use violence. About resilience…I’m with the camp that wants to create cahnge to avert disaster. But it’s becoming increasingly likely that we will fail, and that certain tipping points will be reached…maybe more slowly if we are somewhat successful. But if we live as if we can be “saved” then we will not be strong enough to cope with the crises and disruptions that may hit us hard. So, I think we should built our personal and community reislience skills even as we work for change. What are those skills? As a publisher, I recently put out a series of books on this topic — www.resilience-books.com. The focus was on pandemic resilience, but I believe now much more needs to be done, espeicially building the psychological toughness it takes to adapt. I co-authored a book on this a few years ago, Indestructible You: Building a Self that Can’t Be Broken.
