PEOPLE - HCP (Human Centered Potential) by OO89.

The negativity instinct entrenched in ourselves as well as inherited forms of atavic reasoning carried on along human evolution, might prevent us from appreciating how much has been done by our specie in the last 200 years: a leap forward in life expectancy, an increase in % of people enrolled in educational path, households electricity access, number of individuals above extreme poverty thresholds, these are just a few achievements that should not be given for granted at all. 

Yet, the heavy weight of misconceptions, and biases, still present in the 24/7 talks out of our interactions add further complexities when the gist of a factual world based view needs to be grasped.

Detached by the sense of data and insights, we don’t get the current picture, in which: 82% of energy still comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), less than 8% of the world’s population live in megacities, only 9% of people live in low-income countries, [...],  while scrambling to understand which are the challenges we are tackling, thus the actual scoreboards that determine where we are losing and winning different matches, all strictly linked.

Our human system lacks a great upgrade that is currently available.

Let’s imagine, and again, let’s Imagine new possibilities, being all aware of their impact.

Unleash the HCP.
