The "unbearable truth"...


Newminimalists are true to themselves even in a world of lies.


The truth will set you free.

The "unbelievable truth" is that politics, corporates, charities, governments, and so are all organised as centralised entities. Indeed in 2020 the global economic shutdown as a response to the Coronavirus is only possible because of the centralised organisation of all activity around the world. And the processes used to shutdown the world have, or will, lead to even more rigid rules that aim to coalesce all the loose ends of power into the ambit of those who run the existing centralised system. By the end of 2020 we can expect that there will be very few outriders to centralised model of organisation.


However. Here is the rub. The global centralised system is about to implode. Of course China is the poster-child for this model and yet it is coming apart as it fails to deliver what was promised to the 1.4 Billion citizens of that nation. For instance Joshua Phillip of The Epoch Times predicts that the CCP will fall [over the next 12 months] to internal revolutionary forces as these centralised control of China unwind. But. This is only one example of the impending implosion of the centralised model that has dominated the world of since 1945 and, ironically, to a greater and greater extent since the fall of The Berlin Wall in 1989.


I fully understand that the implosion of a global system, that currently sustains life on this planet, is inconceivable for most of you who are reading this riff. However. I urge you to flick the switch inside your brain from disbelief to belief. From acceptance of the past to one which embraces more imaginative perceptions of what is possible in 2021 and beyond.


Our 2020 "unbearable truth" is that we have entered a vortex of uncertainty, ambiguity, and discontinuity. Much of what we held to be true will turn out to be false. Much of what we replied upon to sustain our ideologies, theologies, beliefs, etc will literally evaporate over the next 5 years or so.
