Does it usually happen as "one" issue? Or do things pile up? How can that "significant emotional event" be detected/diagnosed or maybe even made to happen (as much as perception can be changed without changing the picture)? I'm seeing that right now btw - there's this "the end of oil" issue, and apparently an International Agency has spat a set of recomendations on how to save oil urgently - this is making the "I told you" people (those who've been warning about peak-oil for ages, and doing little else) to be sensitive to the "let's self-organise around solutions" meme. I'll keep an ear up ... and I also appreciate your insights about this "how best make use of oportunities" issue. Thanks!
