Beyond Jung – Time and Climate Change

In this presentation I will look at how hard it is to comprehend the problem of climate change due to our natural, human problem with perceiving time. We can’t know those three generations behind or in front – so we can’t take in the effect our actions have on future generations. This links to the fractal nature of time, and to how hard it is to submerge our own sense of self into the complex emergent system which is the collective unconscious.
