From the mining engineer, Dr. Simon Michaux and the ecologist, Dr. Nate Hagens, four metaphors for the people of the world (all of us) as we face the ongoing socio-eco-econ-ethical Crisis.

The title of the video is "The Arcadian Blueprint". In it, Michaux and Hagens offer specific details for a beginning of the transition to sustainability. Basically, it's an introduction to Michaux's "resource based economy". [I posted this link (but with different commentary) awhile ago, maybe a month or so. The video is both entertaining and extremely informative.]
Which of the four metaphors (or what combination) applies to you?
Old School---
those who believe everything will soon get back to "normal"; it's okay, the Powers-That-Be are handling it; we'll muddle through; reductionist thinkers.
The Vikings---
those who take advantage of the disruption by "raiding" the economy and the ecosphere, grabbing whatever they can for themselves; little to no social conscience, or concern for future generations.
The Realists/Community Preppers---
those who see the Crisis, and are working toward fairly immediate, short-term solutions re energy, food, water, shelter, and economy for their family, often in concert with neighbors or the whole community. [Note: this category does not include those few people who believe a bunker, rifles, hand grenades, claymore mines, and razor wire are needed for defense of the "compound".]
The Arcadians (as in ancient Greece)---
those with the wisdom to work for long-term sustainability, a thriving Earth for current and future generations; comprehensive, holistic, systems thinkers.
