All Hope Is (Not) Lost
In a classic 3-act story structure, there’s a turning point at the end of the second act called “All Hope Is Lost”.
If world history was a story with us as characters, the All Hope Is Lost moment would be now.
At least that’s what I was thinking when I watched a video from the Stockholm Impact Week where Daniel Schmachtenberger explains the Metacrisis.
If our story is going to have a happy ending, the protagonist (that’s us) is going to have to do something difficult and heroic.
