More of the Truth

More of the truth is a phrase meaning more true memes in The Dueling Loops of the Political Powerplace simulation model. This model argues that More of the Truth does not work on the global environmental sustainability problem because of the inherent structural advantage of the The Race to the Bottom among Politicians.

More of the Truth also means steps 2, 3 and 4 of the process of Classic Activism. These steps do not work because what they are really doing is trying to inject more true memes into The Dueling Loops of the Political Powerplace. But because this is an invisible social structure, very few problem solvers can see it, which causes More of the Truth to continue to be the dominant paradigm for solving the global environmental sustainability problem.

All this would change if classic activists realized that, as Einstein said, the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." More of the Truth has been the main solution for over 30 years now. It has not worked. Once this realization occurs, Classic Activism will give way to Analytical Activism, and suddenly certain previously invisible social structures will become visible. What not to do and what to do to solve the problem will then become as obvious as how to eat an apple.

 

Dueling Loops Paper

The most popular page on the site by a factor of 3. This paper presents a simple model showing why activists have been unable to solve the sustainability problem, and an alternative solution strategy based on high leverage points.

Change Resistance Paper

This explains why the crux of the sustainability problem is change resistance, rather than what conventional wisdom thinks it is. That's why the problem has remained unsolved for over 30 years. The paper describes a high leverage point that's never been pushed on before that can solve the change resistance problem.

The Powell Memo

The most eye popping short read (7 pages) on the site, if you have never heard about it. The memo was written in 1971.

Dueling Loops Videos

These average 8 minutes. They give a quick introduction to the Dueling Loops model and how it explains the tremendous change resistance to solving the sustainability problem.
