World Economic Forum represents. A study conducted for the UN, for
example, estimated the combined environmental externalities of the world’s 3,000 biggest
companies to be $2.2 trillion in 2008, “a figure bigger than the national economies of all but
seven countries in the world that year.”
Great thinkers such as David Korten, Charles Eisenstein, and many others, are suggesting
that what humanity needs now is a “New Story”, or narrative, to navigate us through the
transformation that is currently required of humanity. Eisenstein, for example, suggests in his
book The Ascent of Humanity that we are currently facing a convergence of crisis, where we are
being called upon to move beyond the “Old Story”, which he suggests has led to our current
“Age of Separation” and all the problems resulting from it. The “New Story” he says we are
entering into will hopefully bring about an “Age of Reunion”, when we begin to realise the
interconnected nature of all things and that ...
“we are fundamentally unseparate from each other, from all beings, and from the universe”.

The pumice itself is of course volcanic - but as THIS article has said, regardless of whether concrete buildings are liked or not, there are many very good designs which could have benefited from the Roman's understanding and no doubt many more in the future. My father in his role as senior steel-fixer and bar-bender was responsible for all of the reinforced concrete steel-work which supported the copper roof in the construction of the Commonwealth Institute, with its parabolic paraboloid roof - oh that the John Laing research team had understood then what the Romans understood, when it was built or even taken cognisance of the Swedish invention of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete -

the inter-relationships in the facts of experience
and the process of thinking. Synergetics endeavors
to identify and understand the methods that
NATURE actually uses in coordinating the
operation of the Universe (both physically and
metaphysically). Synergetics provides a method
and a philosophy for problem-solving and design
and therefore has applications in all areas of human
endeavour.
