- Our Educational Crisis
- Capability Development
Experts across disciplines characterize a world beset by a range of formidable challenges and intransigent problems demanding collective change and coordination. This poly-crisis, no matter what dimensions we focus on, are always first and foremost educational crises where demand outpaces capabilities.
McNamara is developing new forms of educational trainings to grow necessary, sufficient and complete skillsets for enabling us to create, grow and sustain better futures.
- Compounding Problems
- New Tooling
Our current toolkits are often ill-equipped to solve today's pressing challenges. Where legacy problems remain unsolved, current efforts cascade unintended consequences and novel challenges emerge leaders and communities must effectively address the compounding challenges that threaten our viabilities.
Rob is partnered with leading experts to develop, refine and implement new philosophical tools capable of solving our highest value problems to better enable conscious sustainable evolution.
- Ethical Drift
- Ethical Renewal
Over the past 80 years we have transitioned into an interconnected global civilization with technologies capable of ending humanity. In some cases our technologies risk all known life on Planet Earth. Concurrently, our profound technological advances has biased innovation toward what we can do and away from what we should do. This ethical drift has created over 30 forms of existential risk being identified and studied by experts.
McNamara recognizes our sane pathways forward all involve greater skill for making increasingly skillful individual and collective choices. Rob is working on inspiring the kinds of inquiry and action that can support better futures for future generations.
