Abstract

Globalization brings about benefits and wonders; it has allowed us to solve single-value problems, but it can increase the potential risks of “systemic problems,” leading to system-wide disruptions. Our efforts to solve problems often cause further problems, beyond our expectations. What can we do to protect against such emerging systemic problems? We now need a Copernican revolution for paradigm shifts in our cognition. We should apply the same “systemic forces” that generate the “systemic problems” in the first place. We can fight like with like in trying to cope.
