Grounds for Optimism: Change Is Constant, And Sitting Still Is Not An Option
This session will focus on the "Grounds for Optimism":
Over the last few years, there have been many examples of how humans can adapt. Airlines stopped flying, and fleets were mothballed in the world's desserts. Lockdowns occurred, and people stayed at home. It was about survival, but it also demonstrated how adaptable people could be.
Humans can exist in a wide range of environments on earth and space or other planets.
A lot of people have difficulty with adaptability. They pay a heavy price. The problem is evident in the increased incidence of mental illness that has come out of the pandemic.
Humans change their environment and circumstances simultaneously so that the personal and community situation is constantly improving. Some of these changes could include sealing roads with bitumen, installing air conditioners, changing personal relationships and changing work environments.
Adaptability capabilities vary between people. It's related to change fitness.
The limitation of human adaptability seems to be limited to the laws of nature. However, most possible changes are determined because humans have not worked out how to do it yet.
Don't be restricted by what you don't know. Learning is a constant requirement, and unknowns can be worked out.
Change is constant, and sitting still is not an option. Change may not be a conscious thing often, it is subconscious.
We are unlikely to make progress if there is not a problem to be solved. Testing theories is an everyday occurrence. Sharing and collaborating on problem-solving and ideas is always richer than done in isolation or on your own.
Collaborating on ideas is more likely to give an executable outcome or solution momentum.
Incremental change: car tires or an engine tune-up.
Transformational change: a new car.
There are a lot of grounds to be optimistic. Suppose an individual is in a dire situation and has the capacity and ability to adapt. With this capability, a change process is put in place. It can be an iterative or transformative change. Optimistic individuals must be able to work through a problem and put in place the required solutions in a work environment or a personal life.
The grounds for optimism are not that we know everything already but that we can learn it. The willingness and ability to learn new things.
