I really like your ideas about systemic learning. I think that the establishment far prefers it when we compartmentalize problems into separate smaller problems instead of actually connecting dots. For instance forestry, agriculture, industry all impact the environment, but our politicians like to approach them as separate. It also allows them to not regulate these industries, and not assign intrinsic values on resources (like the value of the forest if left intact, or the value of wild salmon not harvested, or the value of a lake left pristine instead of used as a tailings pond!)
