Will climate change make personal dev obsolete?

[Bob Seeker]

I mean the stage orange stuff. More generic professional development tracks, pickup, ordinary rules of business.

i mean, it seems to me like we will be forced to change the very fabric of society and I don’t see this stuff making much sense anymore. Even if only a certain level of predictability disappears this stuff could be threatened.

any thoughts?

Humanity must invent global problems in order to preoccupy itself. Global warming is such an invented global problem. 

Do not concern yourself with the problems of humanity before solving your own personal problems. 

You can't change society if you can't change yourself first.

@JosephKnecht But climate change is a severe problem, and people are right in taking it seriously. That doesn't mean you can't also work on your own personal problems, but you shouldn't completely ignore global problems either.

You can do both at the same time.

All global problems stem from personal problems. 

If all the people were "perfect", there would be no global problems.

At the ultimate level this is true. But sometimes personal problems are being fed by global problems (which were originally created by personal problems). This can create a viscious feedback loop. The global problem can become a beast of it's own, more than the sum of its parts, further feeding the personal problems, causing even more global problems and so on. 

For example, conflict between nations stems from internal conflict inside people. But to practically end wars, it's not enough to tell the people to take responsibility and solve their internal conflict. These dynamics of war have become an untamed beast, so systemic, holistic solutions are needed. We need to collectively set up systems where it is safe and practical to do that internal process of ending internal conflict, without incentives driving another actor to exploit that within any specific person, community, country or coalition.
