Unleash the Future &Bring Back the Cycle
Unleash the Future &Bring Back the Cycle
Modern society faces problems that it has artificially created. Mass production, mass consumption, food crises, health hazards, income inequality, energy shortages, and the list goes on. It is said that these issues have now become so complex that they are beyond mankind's capacity to solve them. We must reevaluate the way we perceive such obstacles and how we frame our questions.
To begin with, all things, including people and nature, possess great potential. We believe that unleashing this primal force and returning to a powerful cycle is the starting point toward the ideal we aim for.
Remove all constraints before adding value. Commit to restoring humanity and revering nature and Earth, with the assumption that existence itself has value.
Creating the future begins with designing standards for the well-being of people, society, and Earth.
現代社会が人工的に生み出した問題。大量生産・大量消費、食料危機、健康被害、貧困格差、エネルギー不足…。これらはあまりにも複雑化し、人類が持ち得る課題解決能力を超えてしまったと言われます。いま一度、課題の捉え方、問いのあり様を見直すべきでしょう。そもそも、人や自然などの万物は素晴らしいポテンシャルを秘めています。その本来の力を『解放』し、力強い『循環』に還ることが、目指す姿の原点になると私たちは考えいます。価値を加える前にあらゆる制約を取り除く。「存在そのものに価値がある」という前提に立ち、「人間性の回復」と「自然・地球への畏敬」に取り組む。人・社会・地球の豊かさの基準をデザインすることから、未来創造がはじまります。
