As noted above, Viktor Schauberger (Nature As Teacher: how I discovered new principles in the working of nature, 1998) defined the challenge as one of "thinking an octave higher".

At the time of writing, the worldwide resonance of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement, has acquired focus through its slogans relating to the exploitation of the 99% by the 1%. With the narrow focus of the slogans of the 1% on "growth" and "globalization" -- and their implicit cultivation of "greed" as fundamental to "development" -- new thinking is clearly appropriate.

In the light of Young's insights, the argument is developed separately as a form of speculation to identify potentially suggestive "technologies" as ways of engaging with the possibility of "getting off the ground" (Eliciting a 12-fold Pattern of Generic Operational Insights: recognition of memory constraints on collective strategic comprehension, 2011).
