Sustainable Cultures Includes Improving All Areas

'Ego Authority Failure' clearly shows the very human trait of being prone to the fast-result-outcomes of the ego dominated, short-term profit ideology of our culture. As the world grapples with the many dire complexities facing our world community, with concerns equally ranging between concerns for the continuity of organized life, and global inequalities leading to global instabilities, all fueled by economic extremes and environmental emergencies... a balancing out of all extremes and the seeking of smooth, sustainable transitions becomes increasingly the preferred option. When the multi-faceted complexities inherent in a species whose impact on the planet and technologies are global... the seeking out of pathways that are as broadly sustainable as possible becomes the most prudent and optimal path for restoring balance to the ecosystem. Being a species prone to ego-exuberance, makes having well-thought out strategies and policies, that effectively channel these tendencies a very well proven concept and plan. With economic regulations curtailing profit-exuberance (short-term profitism at the expense of everything) for the long-term benefit of the global commons is now widely recognized within and outside the field of economics. As we see corporate-exuberance create ever increasing islands of plastic in the oceans of the world, the need for environmental regulation is now universal. Equally, the abuse of power across the collective areas of corporate mandates for shareholder profits, politics, banking, and the entire trickle down ideology... has left the world literally in environmental and economic tatters, as obviously outdated socio-economic models fail ecological paradigms. The middle path of balance-of-power is now a universal human concern, as the entire human project becomes increasingly vulnerable to out-of-balance tendencies; and why all things sustainable is the primary and growing concern for global citizenry. Derek Gaunt's book highlights how the nature of power is prone to and easily fanned by ego, which quickly leads to the failures that are unfortunately following us into the 21st century. All areas of power-concentration should be steadfastly seeking the routes, practices and policies to avoid repeating history and surpassing the worst of history, And primarily striving for the long term longevity of a bio-diverse world... dominated by a species that is learning to become a more sustainable global culture on all fronts.
