Humanity’s broken risk perception is reversing global progress
Coming from the UN, we already know what the answer will be.<p>More governance, more&#x2F;better management of risk by the UN that is then delegated to its administrative regions (the US, EU, etc).  This is because as long as we are talking about risk, this plays into the hands of a global governance structure.  All risks should be planned for and managed - I mean the covid response was fantastic, right?  What was wrong was not enough governance, of course.<p>But what about the risk of a corrupt global governance structure?  If you think &quot;democracy&quot; was bad (where you vote once every 4&#x2F;5 years, for someone else to represent you for that time), how much worse will it be if global policies are rolled out to everyone with no vote at all?  Where if you disagree on what stakeholders (corporations, government and NGOs) have in mind for you, you&#x27;re on your own.  Which is where we are already..<p>No to a global tyrannical system - thanks.  Next.<p>I think the best way to manage risks is to roll back the mega governance structures, ignore or undo government diktats.  Put power in hands of local people, and no I don&#x27;t mean implementing the UN cookie-cut &#x27;local sustainable development plan&#x27; templates that we are all getting.  Can we discuss that?  Of course not - imagine a government arguing for less government!!<p>I want less government in every way - let local people decide for themselves what they want to do.  In fact, we could have that today, if people stopped listening to these ridiculous self-authorising &quot;authorities&quot;.
