People, generally, do not seem to be conscious of, or care
about, the enormous dangers of climate change and even the possibility of a
devastating war in the Korean peninsula that could turn nuclear. They carry on
with their routine and banal conversations as if that was all that mattered. In
the 60s there were peace demonstration, there was more awareness and public engagement
in the face of the thread of nuclear war. Could the pressures and demands of modern
capitalism, now no longer tamed by a competing communist system that could potentially
appear to be more attractive, be a causal factor? People caught up in the turmoil of a positive
feedback loop rarely perceive reality beyond it. This simple CLD tries to
illustrate the dynamic and feedback loops that could be responsible for this strange
apathy and how our present day economic system could be blinding us to imminent
danger.
