• Level of Security: Planetary
• Signs of hope: Collective spaces where people gather online to care about each other, to grieve, to talk openly about what they are experiencing. My experience--working at a national laboratory--is there are many thoughtful people bringing their perspectives to national/global security policy and research..
• Potential Threats: As continued threats (geopolitical/nuclear, climate, economic) increase, there is hope for a democratizing force that prioritizes collectivity. The biggest threat to this positive change is global capitalism (disaster capitalism, etc.) that preys vulnerability.
