Finding Potential Integrators

In this second chapter, three potential integrators are identified that are characteristic of the second Renaissance. (a) A reformed financial sector, which primarily involves an adjusted monetary policy and a new green transition plan; (b) altered mindsets, which can be brought about by contemplative practices, psychedelic drugs and/or educational programmes; (c) new technologies, in particular AI and big data. All three integrators can overcome polarities and reconcile opposites. The chapter also introduces the concepts of ‘metastability’ and ‘fractals’.
