widthe is at the end of an era, an era of expansion-the next step requires a new narrative. The limitations of our planet conflict with the reality and necessity of rapid social development. If people accept that both are harsh realities, then we will face the real dilemma of restriction and vitality. Desperate, although understandable, calls to give up and reflection are helpless and not very effective, because it does not solve the dilemma. The mathematical principle of convolution can provide this solution because it allows unlimited movement in a finite world through the growth of diversity. Not to grow into more, but to grow into diversity. Not in theory, but very practical.
Many people now understand that the unrestricted consumption of resources and the pollutants they produce, such as carbon dioxide and microplastics, will push our planet to the brink of livability. Obviously, climate change must be stopped. This is only the beginning of solving our sustainability problems. We live on a limited planet with limited resources. Most people are aware of this. Not only will it be Friday in the future, but the vast majority are calling for a solution.
Two needs collide
However, it is absolutely necessary to resolve an important secondary condition: we must develop further, and must maintain and further improve social achievements such as the rule of law, democracy, equality, and poverty reduction. Has been fighting for the past few centuries. Sustainability must be progress, not retrogression, if it is to serve the people. The argument that there are other social necessities besides limiting climate change is both correct and trivial. It has been used by brake crews for decades and has been tainted by dishonesty. But it has a core as real as the threat posed by carbon dioxide: our society must be able to sustainably develop.
On the one hand, because we are still a long way from achieving all the necessary goals. There are still suffering and huge injustices in the world, and sustainability issues themselves are forcing new innovations to transcend the climate. In fact, the reason is much deeper, because society must be active in order to be stable. Movement and stability are not contradictory, they are interdependent.
