Resilience is a common characteristic for many ecosystems. However, pollution can impact the resilience of an ecosystem, especially when it comes to humanity. Humanity is being inundated, all the time with pollution from all levels of all scales.  Most noteworthy is the complexity that is created in extreme capitalistic economy, where government produces huge amounts of laws, rules, regulations policies, and procedures that everyone must follow.   The fragmentation, borders, boundaries, and barriers that are created from this complexity impact us even more.  This is a especially true because the economy has us running ragged at an extreme fast pace.   All of these things contribute to illness manufacturing, and people getting sick.   Some people get sick by getting stressed out from our society. Some of these people take drugs, alcohol, experience, promiscuous, sex, and engage in pornography.   These things can lead to downward spiral feedback, impacting resilience.   Sometimes a downward spiral feedback loop is reached, causing an inflection point leading people to a downward spiral event. Sometimes the inflection points lead to crime, violence, terrorism, homelessness, psychological illness, and more.   I don’t know how people can say that the economy is resilient when you consider the number of detrimental impacts that are manufactured by the economy itself.   The economy behaves such that It does not pay attention to anything else other than making money and quarterly earnings.  Things are changing, I know, with the invention of the sustainability index people are starting to think about the so-called externalities, the natural environment, natural resources, and our society.   However, most of the time corporations invest in sustainability officers and give money to charities and nonprofit groups to get themselves off the hook for being responsible. This kind of phenomenon is also known as greenwashing.  I am interested in a new way of direct investment into so-called externalities from corporations and reciprocally as a cycle. People will invest in those corporations when they do great works by investing in tangible impact and externalities.   When these impacts are mitigated, the resiliency of the ecosystems improve such that they become resilient once again. However, it could take a very long time.

The innate resilience of natural ecosystems is a well-established principle, allowing them to absorb disturbances and recover. However, this inherent capacity is severely undermined by pervasive anthropogenic pollution, creating a profound ripple effect that directly impacts human well-being and societal stability. We find ourselves immersed in pervasive environmental degradation, stemming from pollutants of every conceivable scale and origin, constantly eroding the foundational strength of our natural world.

A significant exacerbating factor in this systemic fragility is the intricate web woven by contemporary hyper-capitalistic frameworks. These systems, often bolstered by an overwhelming proliferation of governmental laws, regulations, and policies, inadvertently create immense bureaucratic overhead and societal friction. This structural complexity fosters fragmentation, erecting artificial barriers and boundaries that impede harmonious coexistence and holistic problem-solving. Compounded by an economic ethos that demands an unrelenting, accelerating pace, individuals and communities are stretched to their breaking point.

The cumulative effect of this systemic pressure manifests as a pervasive ‘illness manufacturing’ mechanism, where chronic stress and anxiety become endemic, leading to widespread physical and psychological ailments. For many, this societal strain precipitates maladaptive coping behaviors—an escalation in substance abuse, compulsive behaviors, and other forms of escapism—which, in turn, initiate self-reinforcing negative feedback loops, further eroding personal and collective resilience. These inflection points can tragically cascade into severe societal pathologies, including rising rates of crime, violence, terrorism, homelessness, and profound psychological distress.

It becomes increasingly difficult to champion the ‘resilience’ of an economic system that demonstrably produces such extensive societal and environmental harm. Its singular, often myopic, focus on maximizing quarterly earnings and shareholder value blinds it to the broader, catastrophic ramifications of its operational model.

While there’s a growing awareness, evidenced by the development of sustainability indices and increased discourse around environmental and social ‘externalities,’ current corporate responses often fall short. All too frequently, this engagement manifests as corporate social responsibility initiatives or the appointment of sustainability officers, which, while seemingly positive, can sometimes border on ‘greenwashing’ – a superficial attempt to assuage guilt or public scrutiny without enacting fundamental systemic change. Donations to charities, while benevolent, rarely address the root causes of environmental degradation or social inequity directly attributable to core business practices.

My interest lies in pioneering a more impactful approach: a model of direct, substantial corporate investment specifically targeting the mitigation and regeneration of these very externalities. This isn’t merely about charitable giving, but about integrating genuine environmental and social remediation into the core business strategy. Crucially, this would foster a reciprocal cycle: consumers and investors, recognizing these tangible commitments to positive impact, would be empowered to direct their capital towards truly responsible enterprises. Through such dedicated and reciprocal engagement, we could begin the arduous, yet vital, process of restoring ecological and societal resilience. This will undoubtedly be a long-term endeavor, demanding sustained commitment and transformative shifts in economic priorities, but it offers a credible path towards a more equitable and sustainable future.  Adopting the We-Me  unidiversity research explorer cycle with the location enabled integrated device will help the situation immensely because people will allocate their energy towards restoration and invest in these corporations that are investing in so called externalities As a cycle.  The integrated device provides for exploration, living, learning, loving, and anything else imaginable while allocating energy towards restoration and restoring resilience.
