• Underneath our clever human exteriors lies something we need to manage, or it will manage us: our inner chimp AKA our limbic system, or "System 1 thinking" (Kahneman). Our inner chimp is the one that looks at everyone else in our social circle or community to decide how sustainable to be, our inner chimp is the one who decides if we should give up or struggle on. Our struggle is difficult - with chimp management, we can manage the difficulties better: https://chimpmanagement.com/the-chimp-model/

Psychology

Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner If you were to design a problem that the mind is not equipped to deal with, climate change would fit the bill. It's distant, abstract and contested. This means that for most people, it's 50:50. They can ignore it if they want to. I'm pessimistic. In particular I'm pessimistic about the ability of democracies to deal with the threat.

So we need to create our own mindset to keep us on the path to sustainability, zero emissions and success.
