-It must be noted that continued existence of the globalised industrial civilisation is impossible. Business as usual will lead to ruin, the best individuals can do is understand that humanity does not face a problem, or even a set of problems. Humanity faces multiple converging predicaments.+Humanity faces multiple converging predicaments.

-^Theme^Comments^ +^Solution Space^Comment^ 
-|Global financial crisis - liquidity crunch & economic depression | Given that the cost of capital will be very high, and there will be little purchasing power, proposed solutions which are capital-intensive will lie outside solution space| +|Capital intensive projects| Outside of solution space| 
-|The Psychological driver of deflation and the collapse of the trust horizon | Proposed solutions to our predicament that depend on the functioning of large scale organisations operating in a top-down manner do not lie within viable solution space| +|Requires large scale societal engagement in rational planning for long term goals| Outside of solution space| 
-|Instability and the "discount rate"| Given the coming rise in collective discount rates, if proposed solutions depend on the ability for societies to engage in rational planning for longer terms goals, then those solutions are not part of the solution space| +|Requires functioning of large scale organisations operating in a top-down manner| Outside of solution space| 
-|The phycology of contraction and social context| If proposed solutions depend on a cooperative social context at large scale, they will not be part of solution space| +|Dependant on a large scale cooperative social context| Outside of solution space| 
-|Energy - demand collapse followed by supply collapse| Given that the energy supply will be falling, and that there will, over time, be competition for increasingly scarce energy resources that we can no longer take for granted, proposed solutions which are energy intensive will lie outside solution space| +|Energy intensive projects| Outside of solution space|
