I know it’s not easy to notice the storm when you’re in the eye of the hurricane, but the institutions that we have chosen, throughout our history, to provide us with governance, seem to be weakening, and why not say, failing in their original mission, in each area of society: politics, economics, justice, science, journalism, religion, etc., whether due to the obsolescence of the model or poor execution or a mix of both.
In the past, phenomena of collective consciousness/unconsciousness often led to global situations of governance change, but the preparation time was much longer, as communications were more restricted, both in terms of scope and control of the means of communication by interested parties in maintaining the status quo.
Currently, despite several attempts to control communication, its pervasiveness and decentralization make this almost impossible, in addition to the fact that the health emergency acted as a wake-up call for people who began to clearly see the storm, having been displaced from the calm from the center of the hurricane. It is difficult to know what the new governance models will be like in each area, but it is certain that the ones we have will not survive for long.
There are countless possible scenarios and we already see many actors trying to influence the new model to keep them in a status quo similar to the current one, but regardless of the result, the transition will not be easy, resisting the new is one of the pillars of current models and comes shaping our collective and individual decisions for a long time.
