species to nature will require a discarding of the traditional Baconian approach to scientific inquiry, which distorts nature's secrets and focuses on viewing the Earth as a resource and commodity for our species' exclusive consumption. \u003cbr\u003eInstead, we must embrace a fundamentally new scientific paradigm that the next generation of scientists is calling complex adaptive social-ecological systems thinking.\u003cbr\u003e This new approach to science sees nature not as a \"resource\" but as a \"source of life,\" ultimately perceiving the Earth as a self-organizing, self-evolving system so complex that its trajectory cannot be predicted in advance.\u003cbr\u003e So what's needed is not a science of preemption, but a science of prediction and careful adaptation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.17~18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During the industrial era, one-third of the world's topsoil was degraded.\u003cbr\u003e Scientists say there is only 60 years' worth of topsoil left on Earth to feed humanity.\u003cbr\u003e It takes over 500 years to replace one inch of topsoil.\u003cbr\u003e Scientists also warn that climate change could trigger mass extinctions, leading to the loss of up to 50 percent of all existing species within the next 80 years. \u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, Earth's oxygen is disappearing at a rate unprecedented in the past two billion years.\u003cbr\u003e Marine phytoplankton, which produces half of the Earth's oxygen, are currently under threat from rising ocean temperatures caused by global warming.\u003cbr\u003e A new study suggests that global ocean oxygen depletion could occur as early as 2100 due to the loss of phytoplankton.\u003cbr\u003e Likewise, terrifyingly, rising global temperatures caused by greenhouse gases are rapidly increasing the intensity of floods, hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires, destabilizing ecosystems and expanding areas of the planet that are uninhabitable.\u003cbr\u003e By 2070, about 19 percent of the Earth will be a \"barely habitable hot zone.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.41~42\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe story of how we arrived at this historical juncture and the fundamental shift in our conceptions of time and space begins innocently enough in 14th-century medieval Europe with two developments that would later define the modern era.\u003cbr\u003e The first was the invention of the mechanical clock and the strict scheduling of time by Benedictine monks in their daily liturgy.\u003cbr\u003e Second, artists of the Italian Renaissance developed linear perspective in art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The biological clock organizes the internal activity patterns of each organism and synchronizes its relationship with the Earth's daily, lunar, seasonal, and annual cycles, and it is this electromagnetic field, another force we are only just beginning to understand, that plays a crucial role in establishing not only the spatial but also the temporal patterns of each species.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Resilience does not mean reestablishing the exact status quo. \u003cbr\u003eThe passage of time and events, however insignificant their footprints, always change patterns, processes, and relationships, in nature as well as in society.\u003cbr\u003e Resilience should be viewed not as a 'state of being' in the world, but as a way of acting in the world.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, adaptability is a function of time.\u003cbr\u003e Through it, individual organisms, specific species, or larger biological communities participate in all the interactive processes and patterns that make up the Earth's microbiomes, ecosystems, and biomes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) defines an ecoregion as “the most striking example of biodiversity in a particular key habitat type.”\u003cbr\u003e This must be due to a high degree of species richness and endemism, a high degree of taxonomic endemism, a special ecological or evolutionary phenomenon, or a global rarity of a key habitat type. \u003cbr\u003eThis classification system allows scientists, governments, and communities to assess the health and biodiversity of their local ecosystems, with the dual purpose of aligning the social realm with the larger natural realm and easily identifying weaknesses in the ecological region that need improvement.\u003cbr\u003e In contrast, ecoregional governance means that when a part of an ecoregion is managed by the government, a sense of belonging, attachment, identity, and participation are created, anthropologically, psychologically, socially, economically, and politically.\u003cbr\u003e Attachment to an ecoregion often transcends arbitrary political boundaries and encompasses the entire ecoregion in which the community resides. \u003cbr\u003eThis transboundary ecological distinction has become even more relevant in recent years as climate change-induced floods, droughts, wildfires, and hurricanes have transcended national boundaries and forced countries and regions sharing the same ecological region to respond cooperatively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- pp.277~278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The fundamental dilemma facing all ongoing and emerging bioregional governance efforts, including those in the Great Lakes and Cascadia, is that the moment we decide to co-manage an ecoregion, we are forced to wrestle between two conflicting worldviews. \u003cbr\u003eShould we follow the conventional wisdom inherent in the gospel of efficiency, which has persisted throughout the industrial age and interprets environmental conservation in strictly commercial terms? In short, should we view the efficient management of the resources of the Great Lakes ecoregion for future commercial exploitation as our primary mission?\u003cbr\u003e If this traditional mindset prevails, ecoregional governance will continue to develop a myopic, human-centered relationship with the Great Lakes ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e That is, we will be more concerned with how society adapts the ecosystem to the pragmatic requirements of society, rather than how society adapts to the conditions of the ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e This is an important distinction and one that warrants urgent discussion, as either \"management\" or \"stewardship\" of the Great Lakes will become the norm depending on which direction adaptation takes. \u003cbr\u003eBecause it is so arduous, few people have walked this path before.\u003cbr\u003e But this is the path we must take from now on for the survival and prosperity of our human species.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

Adaptability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As we move through the Age of Progress, efficiency has become the gold standard for organizing time, and the human species has been engaged in a relentless quest to optimize the exploitation, commodification, and consumption of natural resources at ever-increasing speeds and in ever-shrinking time intervals, all with the goal of enhancing societal prosperity.\u003cbr\u003e In this process of depletion of nature, space became synonymous with passive natural resources, and the primary role of politics and economics became managing nature as property.\u003cbr\u003e This orientation has elevated humanity to the dominant species on Earth while simultaneously leading the natural world to ruin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRifkin argues that while the era of progress marched in step with efficiency, the emerging era of resilience marches in step with adaptability.\u003cbr\u003e The shift from efficiency to adaptability is accompanied by sweeping economic and social transformations, including shifts from productivity to regeneration, from growth to prosperity, from ownership to access, from buyer-seller markets to supplier-user networks, from linear processes to cybernetic processes, from vertically integrated economies of scale to horizontally integrated economies of scale, from centralized value chains to decentralized value chains, from giant conglomerates to fluid sharing, blockchain-forming, agile high-tech SMEs, from intellectual property to open-source knowledge sharing, from gross domestic product (GDP) to quality of life indices (QLI), from negative externalities to circularity, and from geopolitics to biosphere politics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYounger generations are already transitioning from growth to prosperity, from financial capital to ecological capital, from consumer sovereignty to environmental stewardship, from globalization to decentralization, and from representative democracy to citizens' assemblies and decentralized, peer-to-peer politics.\u003cbr\u003e On the same line, as empathy and love for life become the new norms, cool and indifferent reason is weakening.\u003cbr\u003e At a time when the human species despairs about its own future, Rifkin opens a window into a radically different future, offering a bold blueprint for a second chance at life on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Subversive Reflection on the History of Human Civilization: The World's Laws Misread by Great Men\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA century ago, about 85 percent of the Earth's surface was still characterized by wilderness, but today less than 23 percent of the land remains untouched by human alteration, and even these last wilderness areas are expected to be lost to human hands in the coming decades.\u003cbr\u003e This is the first time in 3.5 billion years that life has appeared on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e Much of the blame for this state of affairs lies with the scientific, economic, and business communities, which have provided a narrative about how the global economy works, claiming that it is optimal for promoting economic gain and ensuring human well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And often the story begins with René Descartes, the French mathematician and scientist who is considered the first modern philosopher. \u003cbr\u003eHe believed that unrestrained, mathematically armed human thought could create an orderly, predictable, and self-perpetuating mechanical analogue of existence on Earth (as God does in the universe).\u003cbr\u003e However, it was difficult to explain the gravity that all machines face, but Isaac Newton, who enthusiastically supported him, discovered a mathematical formula to explain gravity.\u003cbr\u003e For Newton, who assumed that a single law could explain why planets move in certain ways and why apples fall from trees in certain ways, the universe of matter and motion was orderly and calculable, with no room for spontaneity or unpredictability.\u003cbr\u003e In short, it was a world of quantity without quality.\u003cbr\u003e He mathematized the Age of Enlightenment by backing up his insights with mathematical proofs, and mathematics provided the foundation for the Age of Progress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, there are people who are called the fathers of modern science before them.\u003cbr\u003e First, Francis Bacon believed that the most fundamental human resource was the ability to detach oneself from nature, to observe it rigorously from a distance, to extract its secrets and accumulate them into an “objective knowledge” of the world, with which one could “influence everything possible and extend the boundaries of the human kingdom.”\u003cbr\u003e Galileo also based all his scientific investigations on what he had learned about the mathematics of perspective from artists and architects.\u003cbr\u003e \"Objectivity,\" interpreted as being detached and rational, has maintained a dominant influence not only in the elite world of science but also in popular culture for over 500 years, and along with this, the concept that we are all autonomous agents who observe, objectify, and use the world without permission to secure our egos has become dominant.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the Forefront of Industrialization to Ecoregional Governance: The Great Lakes: Past and Present\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At about noon on June 22, 1969, sparks from a train traveling on the Cuyahoga River Bridge in Cleveland fell into the river and ignited industrial waste floating on the surface.\u003cbr\u003e The flames that broke out like this quickly spread across the river, reaching heights of more than five stories in some areas.\u003cbr\u003e Fires broke out not only in the Cuyahoga River, which discharged polluted water into Lake Erie, but also in the Chicago River in Illinois, the Buffalo River in New York, and the Rouge River in Michigan, which carried polluted water to the Great Lakes during the heyday of the Industrial Age.\u003cbr\u003e For a long time, it was considered \"normal\" for various pollutants, such as oil, solvents, industrial chemicals, and waste, to flow down tributaries and into the Great Lakes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Cuyahoga River fire sparked a public awareness of the negative externalities—the entropic costs—that have accumulated over 150 years of industrial development in the Great Lakes region, the cradle of the First and Second Industrial Revolutions.\u003cbr\u003e In April 1970, ten months after the fire, the first Earth Day was celebrated with peaceful demonstrations demanding fundamental environmental reform, and up to 20 million Americans took to the streets.\u003cbr\u003e In December 1970, the U.S. Congress authorized the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which was responsible for environmental issues and reform.\u003cbr\u003e In 1983, the governors of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin formed the Great Lakes Governors' Council, with New York and Pennsylvania joining in 1989 and Canada becoming a full member in 2015. \u003cbr\u003eThis is because we share the recognition that environmental management in the Great Lakes region, which holds 20 percent of the Earth's total surface freshwater, is crucial to the economic and social well-being of the people living around the lakes, and that responding to climate change has no borders.\u003cbr\u003e Today, the Great Lakes region is a leader in building ecoregional approaches and creating more resilient economies and societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA community of life protected by warm empathy rather than cold reason.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Amid warnings that climate change, driven by our reliance on fossil fuels, is leading us to the sixth mass extinction, we are reminded of the truth that our lives and those of our fellow creatures exist as processes, patterns, and flows.\u003cbr\u003e All living things are extensions of the Earth's realm. \u003cbr\u003eMinerals and nutrients from the continental crust, water from the hydrosphere, and oxygen from the atmosphere constantly circulate through us in the form of atoms and molecules, residing in our cells, tissues, and organs as prescribed by our DNA.\u003cbr\u003e And while we live, we just keep replacing them at various intervals.\u003cbr\u003e Our bodies are not ours alone.\u003cbr\u003e This means that it is shared with various living organisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, archaea, and fungi.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, more than half of the cells in the human body and most of the DNA that makes us up do not belong to us, but to other living creatures that exist in every corner of our bodies.\u003cbr\u003e The Earth's species and ecosystems do not reside solely at the edges of our bodies, but constantly flow in and out of them.\u003cbr\u003e We are the planet itself, literally and metaphorically.\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, we are left with an entropic bill in the form of global warming emissions that threaten the future of life on Earth.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIronically, however, our species, unlike our fellow creatures, has a Janus-faced face.\u003cbr\u003e Because while we are a species that plunders and destroys nature, we can also be healers.\u003cbr\u003e We are a blessed species with a special quality wired into our neural circuits: the impulse to empathize.\u003cbr\u003e The impulse to empathize boasts flexibility and infinite extensibility.\u003cbr\u003e This rare and precious attribute has evolved, declined, and resurfaced repeatedly.\u003cbr\u003e In recent years, younger generations have begun to broaden the scope of their empathic impulses beyond the human species to include all fellow creatures who are part of our evolutionary family.\u003cbr\u003e This, what biologists call a life consciousness, cannot but be a hopeful sign of a new path forward.
